Dan Osborne's wife pretended to cry as she said: "This weather is a killer I've had to come and sit inside.
"I've put clothes on because I've got a zoom call literally in 10 minutes.
"Had I not have had the zoom call I would be naked. Continuously, all day. It's just unbearable.
"I feel exhausted. I think I've got heat stroke or something. I'm just so hot. It's just too much."

What is heat stroke?
Heat stroke is a serious condition that can be life-threatening and normally occurs in hot weather. It can also happen when a person has been doing strenuous physical exercise.
When someone has heat stroke, their body is no longer able to cool itself - and their temperature becomes dangerously high.
If someone you know is showing signs of heat exhaustion, you need to cool them down.
- Move them to a cool place.
- Get them to lie down and raise their feet slightly.
- Get them to drink plenty of water. Sports or rehydration drinks are OK.
- Cool their skin – spray or sponge them with cool water and fan them. Cold packs around the armpits or neck are good, too.
Heat stroke is potentially life-threatening, and needs to be treated by medical professionals.
You should call 999 if the person:
- Is still feeling unwell after 30 minutes of resting in a cool place and drinking plenty of water
- Is not sweating even though too hot
- Has a temperature of 40C or above
- Has fast breathing or shortness of breath
- Is feeling confused
- Has a fit (seizure)
- Experiences loss of consciousness
- Is not responsive
Keep giving first aid, as detailed above, while you wait for the ambulance.
And put them in the recovery position if they lose consciousness.
Heat stroke can be very serious if not treated quickly.
