Yesterday was the hottest day of the year – and the hottest July day on record. As we sweltered away, we wondered: how were the nation’s celebrities coping with the heat?

1. Stephen Fry used the word “quite” twice to explain how very hot it was, so you know things were pretty extreme

2. Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan sipped drinks out of pineapples, alongside Mark’s Strictly Come Dancing friend Steve Backshall

3. Jodie Kidd took a classic “glass of wine reflected in sunglasses” shot… with an almost-empty wine bottle

4. Niall Horan got out of bed planning to celebrate the sunshine with a watermelon, two beers and sunglasses…

5. While bandmate Harry Styles expressed his general disbelief 

6. Nick Grimshaw struggled through the heat and inhumane working conditions

Even his dog was too hot!

7. Kym Marsh was determined to carry on as normal, and headed to the gym

8. Matthew Lewis couldn’t help but stick to the national stereotype

9. While Fearne Cotton experienced the most extreme hardship: her candles melted.
