Shoppers go wild for ‘excellent' paddling pool for less than a tenner and perfect for the hot weather
Brits will be looking for ways to cool down as the country is set to sizzle in temperatures of up to 29C from today and into next week.
With the hot weather likely on their minds, shoppers are rushing to John Lewis to snap up a children's paddling pool selling for just £8.99.
The Funsicle Colour Pop 4ft Paddling Pool is proving a big hit customers, with those who have already bought it giving it a five-star rating.
One review on the John Lewis website reads: 'Excellent quality. We purchased this to use in our home as a ball pit, after our 8 month old son punctured the last one with his teeth!
'So far it's passed the strength test. He loves it! Easy to blow up with the device supplied. 10/10.'
Another shopper described it as a 'great little paddling pool'.
They wrote: "Good quality. Quick to fill. We purchased for our seventh month old grandson and he absolutely loves it.
"Perfect size and reasonably sturdy.'
The retailer's website says it's a 'trending' product, with a surge in the number of people adding it to their basket in the last 48 hours.
The pool measures 45 x 12 inches, and is available to buy both in-store and online.

How to stay safe in hot weather
The UK Health Security Agency advised you follow these tips to reduce your risk of dehydration, heat exhaustion and heatstroke:
Keep out of the sun at the hottest time of the day, between 11am and 3pm
If you are going to do a physical activity like exercising or walking the dog, plan to do these during times of the day when it is cooler such as the morning or evening
Keep your home cool by closing windows and curtains in rooms that face the sun
If you go outside, cover up with light clothing, a hat and sunglasses and slather on sun cream
Drink plenty of fluids but limit booze
Know the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heatstroke and what to do if you or someone else has them
Check on family, friends and neighbours who may be at higher risk of becoming unwell, and if you are at higher risk, ask them to do the same for you

Abbey Clancy's look-a-like daughter Sophia, 14, proves she is taking after her model mother as she joins her famous family and footballer father Peter Crouch at Wimbledon
Abbey Clancy 's daughter Sophia showed she has taken after her model mother as she joined her famous family and footballer father Peter Crouch at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club for day four of Wimbledon on Thursday. The daughter to the famous couple, 14, showed off her resemblance to her mother as she was seen topping up her lip gloss in the crowd. She joined Abbey, 39, and Peter, 44, who looked happier than ever and packed on the PDA with a kiss while sat in Centre Court, as she stepped out in an all white ensemble. For the outing, Sophie put on a very glamorous display as she toted her belongings around in a black leather Miu Miu bag. It appears that she also has her mother's eye for designer accessories, as she accessorised with four Christian Dior cloth bracelets, each worth a whopping £250. To finish her sporting day outfit, Sophia was seen wearing false eyelashes as she applied a layer of Hailey Bieber 's Rhode lip gloss. She also shared a sweet moment with her dad Meanwhile Abbey - who is also a mother to Liberty, nine, Johnny, seven, and Jack, five - looked incredible for the outing as she wore a yellow striped suit. Liverpool football legend Peter, looked handsome as he attended the event in a casual blue shirt. Abbey has had a highly successful modelling career, while she's also branched out into presenting, novel writing and even won Strictly Come Dancing back in 2013. And Sophia has taken nepotism in her stride as she made her modelling debut aged eight when she joined Abbey for a Lipsy shoot. Sophia has reportedly had 'loads of offers' already from agencies as she is being dubbed the 'next Lila Moss' A source told Heat World: 'Sophia is getting lots of offers from modelling agencies. They see her as the next big thing, thanks to her looking like Abbey and having Pete's height. 'She has already done campaigns with her mum, but now big-name agencies are desperate to sign her and turn her into the next Lila Moss.' Centre Court spectators will be watching Jack Draper compete against 2017 Wimbledon finalist Marin Cilic and Dan Evans takes on Novak Djokovic. Draper, the current world No4, takes on 2017 Wimbledon finalist Marin Cilic this afternoon as he looks to progress past the second round for the first time at SW19. World number one Jannik Sinner is also back in the spotlight, up against Aleksandar Vukic, whilst Iga Swiatek plays Caty McNally in the other Centre Court match. Judy Murray has opened up on the secrets of the Royal Box at Wimbledon as celebrity guests continue to flood into Wimbledon. While there are 18 Championship grass courts at SW19, all eyes are often on the historic Centre Court, which plays host to the best stars the sport has to offer as they compete for glory. Centre Court boasts nearly 15,000 seats, meaning lucky punters can be seen cheering on their favourites, and are joined by guests in the Royal Box at around lunchtime each day. So far this week, the likes of John Cena, Thomas Tuchel and Olivia Rodrigo have all been present, with all three part of a star-studded line-up in the Box on Wednesday. On Tuesday Judy, renown for her coaching work in the sport and her support for tennis-playing sons Andy and Jamie, made an appearance. Before her trip, she opened up on what it is like in the Royal Box on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show with The National Lottery on Virgin Radio UK. 'Royal Boxing should be a verb, shouldn't it?' she said.' It should be a summer verb.' She added: 'Well, you arrive usually around 11.30, so you go upstairs, they have a champagne reception, then you go in for lunch and you could be sitting beside absolutely anybody at lunch. There's no seating plan, it's just as you go into the room. 'It's in the clubhouse of the All England Club, and the first year that I went I took my mum, of course, and we sat with Jack Nicklaus. I sat with a few years ago a lady who was the first female Spitfire pilot. I mean it's just you could be with absolutely anybody and the stories are fascinating. 'It's really tough when the sun comes round because there's no escape. 'It's actually I think worse for the guys because they have to wear a jacket and tie and they're not allowed to take the jacket off unless the royalty in the box takes their jacket off first. That's the protocol.'

The star added brown sandals and added a touch of bling with gold jewellery, as she beamed for a few shots. The wife of Idris Elba - known for starring in Three Thousand Years of Longing - oozed summer chic in a flowing white dress at the event. The LYMA science lecture was designed and curated to educate on the technology and science behind the LYMA Laser PRO.

Pussycat Dolls singer Ashley, 43, joined fellow stars in revealing she 'can't wait to try it'. The radio host looked stylish in a pale yellow co-ord featuring a pencil midi skirt and matching jacket. Ashley finished off the stunning outfit with a white top, nude stiletto heels and accessorised with a yellow fur mini bag. British businesswoman and TV personality Caroline Stanbury revealed she used the laser for scarring after a facelift, with Sabrina adding: 'She looks so good after that lift! Not that she wasn't looking good before.' Meanwhile English TV host Gabby Roslin couldn't stop gushing and self-confessed as a huge fan. 'I use mine every single day, can you overuse it,' The Big Breakfast star ensured. Gabby opted for a white shirt and cosy pink salmon denim while at the celebs-studded event. Elsewhere, Amanda Cronin stole the show in a classy beige suit featuring a risky top underneath. The modelling icon, 56, proved her sense of impeccable fashion adding a black clutch back and stylish sandals, as well as a pair of dark shades. LYMA Laser PRO uses the world's most advanced anti-ageing cold laser technology that has 'cracked the code' for superior collagen production and transforms everything from wrinkles, cellulite, redness, scarring and pigmentation to post-surgical recovery with zero pain and zero downtime. The LYMA Laser PRO takes the unrivalled power of the original cult-favourite LYMA Laser and trebles it – 3x bigger, 3x faster. Plastic surgeons and dermatologists are already stating that the LYMA Laser PRO is the beauty launch of a generation for its ability to stop the aging clock, using high-powered and precise, low-level laser technology to stimulate collagen production leading to youthful, radiant, skin.
