Most read in Fabulous The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ Take a look around Holly & James caravan One person said: 'That's gorgeous.' Another added: 'It's beautiful.' Why caravan holidays are so underrated CARAVAN park holidays are a British staple. And with the cost of living crisis wreaking havoc on Britain's purses, more of us are turning to them for an affordable break. Josie O'Brien, Senior Digital Writer on Fabulous, weighs in on why she thinks caravan holidays are seriously underrated... WHEN I was a child, my mum used to collect the £9.50 holiday vouchers in The Sun. She'd use them to book a couple of nights away at a caravan park during the school holidays. As an adult, I fully appreciate the convenience of a humble caravan holiday. No faffing about with passports, no luggage limits and no bog-standard hotel breakfast of stale toast and grey eggs. I still love caravan holidays as an adult. In a world of doing everything for the 'gram, a caravan park brings you back to basics. There's no obligation to get dressed up, no stress to fit a million picturesque excursions in one week and I don't find myself flustered in tourist hot spots like abroad. I love going to coastal caravan parks and strolling along the beach parade. My highlight is always fresh mussels, ice-creams and classic pubs to grab an afternoon tipple in. And then, of course, there's the cost. Staying in a caravan is definitely way cheaper than my international trips. With no expensive hotel bills and the ability to cook my own meals, I'm spending hundreds less than I would abroad. I've had some of my best and most relaxing holidays in caravans. Maybe I'll buy my own one day. Whilst a third simply gasped: 'Wow!' Not only this, but someone else chimed in and asked: "How the hell do they get the beds in and out?" Carvans don't have to be basic and beige Liv In response, Liv wrote back and confirmed: "They bend like cardboard I swear they're rubbish."

List of the best supermarket pyjamas to keep cool this summer including ‘super comfy' Tesco set & prices start from £10
THE whole country is currently experiencing soaring temperatures, which is making getting a decent night's sleep more difficult than ever. And if you're anything like me, I never sleep naked so finding a pair of pyjamas that won't leave you waking up in a pool of sweat can be an absolute game changer. Advertisement Staying cool in the prime British summer can be gruelling at the best of times, but when your fan starts circulating hot air and your bedroom feels as hot as Death Valley (mine certainly has this week) then the chances of a good sleep are pretty slim. And contrary to popular belief, according to sleep experts, sleeping naked doesn't actually help when it comes to beating the heat. Instead, covering up is proven to help you cool-down, so if you're having restless nights, then now is the time to reassess your nightwear. Think breathable, light-weight materials such as cotton, linen and silk. Advertisement read more in shopping Plus the fit is important too, loose cuts, shorts and sleeveless sets are best for allowing your body to regulate in temperature, rather than trapping the heat in. Luckily, our favourite supermarket brands have got a wide range of budget-friendly pyjama sets that'll help you get your full 8-hours, without compromising on style too. And, you can pick them all up whilst doing the weekly food shop. 9 Striped Pyjama Set, £20, F&F Clothing at Tesco Credit: Advertisement This pyjama set from F&F at Tesco is made from a lightweight cheesecloth fabric, making it ideal for hotter temperatures.

Plus, the matching shorts have a comfortable elastic waistband. They've earned a five-star rating online, one happy customer wrote, 'Absolutely love them, cool and comfy'. Advertisement At just £20 for the set, they're a great value buy and the classic blue and white stripe is a timeless print that'll be stylish for many seasons to come.

Made from pure cotton, the cami, with adjustable straps and the elasticated shorts are a great option for keeping cool on hotter nights. And warm weather doesn't mean compromising on style, the brand also offers several other pieces in the same check print, including a tie-front top, trousers and a night dress. Advertisement So if you love the style, why not get the whole set and wear it all year round. 9 Pink El Sol Pyjama Set, £22, TU at Sainsburys Credit: If, like me, you're into a graphic print, then TU at Sainsbury's has got you covered.
