I'm surviving the UK heatwave with this lifesaver handheld fan – on sale now for £14
THIS little Amazon fan has seriously saved me in the heat.
I picked up the Jsdoin handheld fan a couple of weeks ago, and at just £13.99 on sale, it's been one of my best summer buys.
Jsdoin Handheld Fan, £15.99 £13.99
Amazon's full of hidden gems, and this little fan showed up just in time for the heatwave.
It's on sale for £13.99, and honestly, I don't know how I'd be getting through this heat without it.
I grabbed it on a bit of a whim, but with an amber heat health alert for England in place, it's been a lifesaver.
If you're like me, your sweaty, slightly desperate future self will be very grateful you got one while it's on offer.
But, for something so small, the Jsdoin fan is shockingly powerful.
It has five speed settings and throws out some serious airflow, but even on the lowest, it takes the edge off.
When I'm on the train and the air feels thick and still, this thing is a lifesaver.
It's quiet too, so I don't feel awkward using it in public, and it doesn't rattle like cheaper fans I've tried before.

At my desk, it sits neatly in the little stand it comes with, so I angle it towards me and just get on with things without slowly melting into my chair.
There's even a slot for aromatherapy tablets if you're into that (one's included, though I haven't used it yet).
It charges via USB-C and lasts way longer than I expected, up to 15 hours depending on the speed setting.
There's no annoying slow fade-out either; it holds its strength until the battery's actually done.
I really like the LCD display, which shows exactly how much battery I've got left.
I always know when it needs a charge and don't get caught out when I need it most.
It also folds up, weighs basically nothing, and comes with a lanyard if you want to wear it around your neck.
This fan isn't the only solution; we've also put together some cheap tricks to stay cool during a heatwave.
But if you want something simple that actually works and doesn't cost a fortune, this one's hard to beat.
I'm not the only fan (pardon the pun) it's had thousands of 5-star reviews and over 10,000 sold in the past month.
One shopper praised, 'I first got one last year when in the hospital and the windows were rubbish, and this fan worked wonders.
'So when we had that short week of heat, I bought my children one each. Worth every penny.'
Another agreed, adding, 'Pretty powerful for a small fan, plus loved the stand and the way it folds.'
If you're roasting on the go or just need something to make the heatwave feel a bit more bearable, this fan is absolutely worth £14.

Jurgen Klopp hints he may NEVER return to management as former Liverpool boss admits ‘I no longer had a normal life'
JURGEN KLOPP has suggested his managerial career might be over after admitting he doesn't want that life "anymore". The German coach quit Liverpool at the end of last season after nine years in charge of the Anfield outfit. 2 2 Having now had more than a year to reflect on his career options, Klopp, 58, candidly revealed he believes his time in the dugout could be over. Speaking to German outlet, Welt, the former Borussia Dortmund boss admitted life as a football coach took him "too far away from a normal life". He recalled how he lost 16 kilos between his time leaving Borussia Dortmund and joining Liverpool, thanks to being on top of his diet and exercising - something he couldn't do when mulling over tactics. Klopp said: "I was in a tunnel, but never with myself. Now I pay more attention to myself. "As silly as it sounds, I stopped doing what I always wanted to do. "But it took me too far away from normal life – and ultimately, I no longer had a normal life. "Whatever normal life is: my car knew three ways: to the stadium, to the training ground, and home." Klopp explained how while he had plenty of visitors in Liverpool, he barely had any time for them - referencing how he had been to two weddings in the last four months as opposed to none in 23 years before that. Following his Liverpool exit, Klopp has found new roles as Red Bull's Head of Global Soccer and in the latest Hotel: Trivago, advertisements. But the Premier League and Champions League winner hasn't been short of top clubs wanting to add him to their ranks, with Bayern Munich inquiring over his availability. Arne Slot shows his class as he leads Anfield in chant about Jurgen Klopp after sealing 20th title for Liverpool However, despite chats with Jose Mourinho and Roy Hodgson about coaching, his gut feeling is that while he loved his job, he doesn't miss it. Asked about his links to Bayern, Klopp said: "But I don't want that anymore. I have a job now that fulfills me and is also intense. "I don't sleep in the morning and I don't go to bed later at night, but I can organise my work much better. "My wife, for example, is really happy with it because we can plan things much better that we couldn't before... "Of course I enjoyed it too. Some days I couldn't believe my luck. Just look where I came from - and then I made it to Liverpool FC, and it worked out pretty well there. "If I were to go back to coaching somewhere, it would all start again. I'm me! I can't just take over and coach. "Then I'd be completely involved everywhere again. And I just don't see that happening anymore." On his chats with Hodgson and Mourinho, he continued: "He (Hodgson) came up to me and asked how I was. In the same breath he said to me: 'I miss it.' "And I was like: 'What?' Roy is 77 years old - and he wants to be a coach again. Unbelievable! "When we played against Crystal Palace with Liverpool, I always asked him whether his apartment was damp or why he was standing on the pitch now. "But Jose Mourinho also said to me: 'This is not the end.' There are those coaches who always want to do that. I loved being a coach, but I was never addicted." Klopp also ruled himself out of taking a job at one of the Red Bull teams. By Dave Kidd NOW we know Jurgen Klopp's final major trophy haul at Liverpool — one Champions League, one Premier League, one FA Cup, two League Cups and (if you must) a World Club Cup. But where does his reign stand among the greatest of the Premier League era? In black-and-white terms, Klopp is way behind Sir Alex Ferguson and Pep Guardiola, the only two men to have won multiple Premier Leagues and a Champions League at the same club. Those two sit alongside Brian Clough, Bob Paisley and Sir Matt Busby as the undoubted all-time managerial greats of the English game. But Klopp ranks in the next tier down — with Arsene Wenger, Jose Mourinho (the Chelsea version), Bill Shankly and Don Revie. These were all men with the strength of character to transform their clubs in their own image and enjoy success but who did not win as much as they might have done. Had Klopp managed to keep his intentions under wraps and ended up with another title, perhaps even a treble or quadruple, he'd have edged himself up into that highest echelon with Ferguson, Guardiola, Clough, Paisley and Busby. But deciding the timing and the manner of your exit is one of the toughest calls for any manager or sportsman. Klopp got it wrong. Or click here to check out all of Dave Kidd's articles.

Zara McDermott breaks silence on Sam Thompson and Louis Tomlinson's pitch-side run-in as she insists it is 'non-existent drama' and discusses focusing on 'real relationships'
Zara McDermott has opened up about her split from Sam Thompson for the first time, revealing she's found the 'non-existent drama' around the break-up 'frustrating'. The Love Island star turned presenter, 28, made headlines this year following the end of her and the former I'm A Celeb winner's relationship in January. They'd enjoyed five years together, with much of their romance documented on Made In Chelsea, but Zara swiftly moved on with One Direction star Louis Tomlinson, 33. Zara and her new flame seemed smitten as they enjoyed dates and romantic getaways before Louis and Sam came face-to-face for the first time at Soccer Aid earlier this month. A seemingly awkward interaction ensued, with Louis reportedly blanking Sam following the match at Old Trafford despite holding 'peace talks' at the team hotel earlier. The woman at the centre of the drama was however nowhere to be seen, with Zara now admitting the reaction to her love life has been 'frustrating'. Addressing their pitch-side run-in, Zara told The Sun: 'The only thing in my life worth writing about is the work I do.' The star also revealed that, despite still posting glamorous snaps to her Instagram, she no longer spends much time on social media and is more grounded in her 'relationships'. 'I don't care about social media as much as I used to, or about the aesthetic or the image, I value so much real relationships and real support around me, and being that to other people,' she added. 'I'm a totally different person to the one I was when I was 21 years old and stepped into what appeared to be a glitzy world of showbiz, my day to day life is not at all glitz and glamour.' After Zara's moved on with Louis back in March, Sam also found himself a new love interest a couple of months later. The reality star - who recently completed an incredible five-day trek from London to Manchester - became involved with Love Island beauty Samie Elishi, 25. Sam and Samie first sparked romance rumours when they shared a passionate and steamy smooch outside Olivia Attwood's birthday party in May. But just this week MailOnline exclusively revealed that the couple had called a time on their fling due to conflicting working schedules. Sam's endeavours with charity in recent weeks coupled with Samie's jet setting with brands to countries such as Greece and Spain reportedly meant a relationship for the couple was not feasible. A source told MailOnline: 'Sam and Samie's romance just fizzled out, there was so much attraction between them initially, but their busy schedules made it difficult for them to spend quality time together. 'For Sam, it was his first relationship since his split from Zara and the feeling is he would rather concentrate on work before getting into another long-term commitment.' And Sam seemingly got straight back to work on finding a new romance, with the star spotted on celebrity dating app Raya just hours after the end of his latest romance. Snaps on his profile showed the reality star at Soccer Aid earlier this month, as well as posing alongside famous pals, including best friend Pete Wicks and fellow I'm A Celeb campmate Marvin Humes. The split came just a day or so before Zara and Louis were spotted putting on a loved-up display as they enjoyed a stroll through Glastonbury on Thursday. The pair cut low-key figure as they soaked up the Somerset sun at the iconic event. The split came just a day or so before Zara and Louis were spotted putting on a loved-up display as they enjoyed a stroll through Glastonbury on Thursday Meanwhile Zara, who also sported sunglasses, wore an black adidas top with dark trousers and tied back her long blonde locks in a ponytail. Louis donned a graphic football shirt which he teamed with black cargo trousers and shielded his famous features beneath shades and a baseball cap. It came just hours after Louis was spotted smoking with friends in what was believed to be a lad's only trip and weekend of partying. The pop star later supported Zara, who he was first linked to in March, as she spoke on a panel for charity Refuge, for a talk entitled How to Create Societal Change: Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls. A source told The Sun: 'Zara looked a bit nervous but kept smiling at Louis and he made sure he was in her eyeline and was beaming back at her. 'It was really sweet to watch, they certainly seem very smitten with each other. 'He disappeared just before it ended so he could go back stage and be reunited with her, but it was heartwarming to see him being a dutiful, loved up boyfriend.'
