NO FUN IN THE SUN!

Sun worshippers show off the worst tan lines ever after spending a little too much time soaking up rays

Millions of Brits have been soaking up the sun at home and are preparing to jet off to the Mediterranean for a blast of extra-strong radiation - but beware because you could end up looking like this sorry bunch

THESE pictures make it painfully clear why you should slap on the sunscreen this summer.

Compiled from around the web, the gallery lays bare how easy it is to end up red-faced by dubious tan lines.

Unless you sunbathe in the nip you risk being caught out by the sun's unforgiving rays and shamed by the ultimate tanning faux pas.

From super-strappy bikini marks or vest outlines to an errant hand across a red raw belly, these pictures should serve as a timely reminder to reach for your SPF.

For these red raw wretches it was too late, their toe-curling sun stencils took as long to fade as their embarrassment.
