Chloe Lewis shares the £19 portable fan that's 'saving her life' right now
With the heatwave promising to stick around for at least another week and plenty of us still with holidays on the horizon, a handheld fan is an absolute staple in all of our bags right now. If you've still yet to get your hands on one (and how have you survived this long without it?) then Chloe Lewis has the perfect recommendation for you.
The former The Only Way is Essex star shared that her WHATOOK Handheld Fan has been 'saving my life right now' whilst on her own sunny holiday. Sharing a snap of herself on the beach with the fan propped up on her legs, Chloe also shared a link to the fan for her followers to get one for themselves.
Available to buy through Amazon, the WHATOOK Handheld Fan is usually priced at £29.99, but it's now on sale for £19.49, saving you more than £10. It's also been pegged as Amazon's Choice, with more than 300 sold in the last month.
The fan comes in four different colours, with Chloe opting for the white version. However it's also available in black, pale pink and mint green, with all colourways reduced to £19.49 apart from the black version, which is now £18.47.
Chloe's WHATOOK Handheld Fan has a flat base that allows you to stand it on a table for hands free use, and is small and portable enough that you can easily throw it in your bag or pocket to use on the go. It has five different speeds depending on how powerful you need your cooling to be, with a maximum speed that's said to be three times stronger than ordinary handheld fans.
The LED display also shows what speed it's at as well as how much battery life is left, so you're never caught out without it. It's fully charged in two hours, with a full charge giving you 10 hours of cooling time, and you can plug the USB charger into anything from laptops and USB sockets to portable power banks and car chargers.
If you want a sleek, bladeless design that's childsafe, this Symple Stuff 360° Bladeless Handheld Fan is £15.99 at Wayfair and has three power levels and a portable stand for using on the go. For a totally hands free option, the Boots Wearable Neck Fan is also £15.99, with Boots Advantage Card holders able to get an additional 10% off.
Meanwhile at Amazon, the WHATOOK Handheld Fan has gotten rave reviews from shoppers, with one saying: 'What a brilliant find! I've only had cheap rubbish little fans before, but this one is SUPERB and great value for money. The charge holds really well, it feels and looks top quality and is very quiet, as promised. Light enough to throw in your handbag and excellent cooling efficiency. So pleased! Thoroughly recommend this.'
Another agreed: 'THIS IS THE BEST FAN EVER!!!!! Small and slick design with unbelievable power and I'm not exaggerating. Slightly loud in public places but who cares when it's blasting cool air in hot conditions. definitely recommended.'
The noise was an issue for some users, with one writing: 'Decent fan, but too noisy for the office etc. makes a high pitched noise and every time I turn it on someone asks what the weird noise is. But like I said it's powerful and compact.'
Someone else chimed in: 'Powerful but very noisy. Not possible to use in e.g. a cinema or restaurant or train or anywhere where you'll bother other people as it sounds like a hairdryer!'
However others were less bothered, writing: 'Excellent fan with lots of power and very long battery life. It's easy to use and it's reasonably quiet depending on which setting you use. The size is perfect and it's light enough to use for long periods of time. I would definitely recommend it.'

TOWIE's Ella Rae Wise and best pal Freddie Bentley unite after explosive row with co-stars as they film new scenes in Essex
's Ella Rae Wise and Freddie Bentley united during filming on Wednesday, following an explosive row with their co-stars. The best pals joined their fellow co-stars Danni Imbert, Livvy, Becks and Junaid Ahmed at Aura Restaurant in Loughton for evening drinks. A number of TOWIE stars came to blows as they were dragged apart from each other in an explosive showdown during Sunday's episode of the ITV2 programme. The popular reality show returned to our screens this weekend for its 36th series, which involved the cast jetting off to Portugal. Meanwhile, Amber Turner, Courtney Green, Chloe Meadows, Elma Pazar and Harry Derbidge filmed scenes at Restaurant Sherekhan in Enfield. At the start of the series, a Whatsapp message was brought up which was about how Freddie, 27, wasn't impressed with how any of his co-stars showed his support towards his best pal Ella, 25, while she was in the Big Brother house. Ella admitted that she expected some support from Jordan Brook, 28, his girlfriend Sophie Kasaei, 35, and the rest of the cast - however they failed to post anything on social media. Tensions started to rise as Ella confronted Jordan about it, while Freddie, Junaid, 30, and Joe Blackman, 27, listened in on the sun lounges next to them. Dan Edgar, 35 - who is Ella Rae's ex boyfriend - is best mates with Jordan and told her: 'I would be wrong and I would be two-faced Fred, like you've called me in the past, if Dan is sitting with me going through a lot and I start posting about you.' Ella replied: 'Sophie wouldn't stand it if you went on a bender.' Sophie, who was sitting on a sun lounger, said: 'I actually wouldn't mind. I'd be with him, that's why.' Jordan told Ella: 'Yeah she wouldn't care.' 'Desperate,' Ella sneakily added. Meanwhile Amy Childs, 35, and Lauren Goodger, 38, were watching on from a distance and Amy confessed: 'Oh my God I can't even look!' At the start of the instalment, a Whatsapp message was brought up which was about how Freddie, 27, wasn't impressed with how any of his co-stars showed his support towards his best pal Ella, 25, (pictured) while she was in the Big Brother house Becks (L) and Livvy (R) are the latest newcomers on the ITV show, after joining the show last year The popular reality show returned to our screens this weekend for its 36th series, which involved the cast jetting off to Portugal (Junaid pictured) Meanwhile, Amber Turner (L), Courtney Green, Chloe Meadows, Elma Pazar (R) and Harry Derbidge filmed scenes at Restaurant Sherekhan in Enfield 'It's been a long day. I know, I feel awkward, Lauren told her. Ella got up and removed herself from the conversation, to which Jordan told her: 'Don't call my bird desperate.' Sophie, 35, fumed: 'Who is calling me desperate?!' Jordan pointed at Ella and said: 'Her.' As Ella walked off she said: 'You're all meant to be in your 30s, grow the f*** up!' Freddie then chimed in and said: 'It's getting ridiculous.' Sophie walked over to Freddie and Dani and asked: 'What the f*** have we done?' Dani pointed out the couple and said: 'They're not the problem!' 'He is!' Freddie replied. 'He's getting involved in my conversation.' Jordan walked over and told him: 'I am not getting involved.' Becoming irate he added: 'I'm getting involved. I am trying to make peace here. You've got the hump with me. I'm making peace. I'm sitting here trying to make a conversation, I'm being a gentleman, trying to have a conversation.' Freddie explained: 'I don't understand why you haven't supported, it's literally all pathetic.' 'You're pathetic!' Jordan fumed back. Sophie chimed in: 'The messages?' Freddie replied: 'And you deserved it! You all deserved it. Deserved to be told about yourselves because at the end of the day if you don't care go away then.' The camera went back to Lauren and Amy, and Lauren said: 'I've never known so much drama in Essex in all my life.' Amy giggled: 'We're in Portugal hun.' Freddie fumed at Sophie: 'Don't even stand there and speak to me.' It then got very heated between the pair, with a lot of swearing, followed by Jordan pushing Freddie. 'Who are you pushing mate?!' Freddie shouted. Dani and Junaid even had to step in to break things up. Junaid told Jordan: 'Don't start on him,' before the pair skulked off in opposite directions. TOWIE airs on ITV2 and is available to stream on ITVX.

The Map That Leads to You review – sugary Amazon romance works best as travelogue
A book-loving American woman in her 20s decides to spend time in Europe before she settles into the safety of a finance job in New York City, but she ends up falling for a man who is harbouring a tragic secret about his future. She's played by an in-house Netflix star, he's played by a non-American actor known for his role in a hit TV show. The film is based on a novel and is premiering on a streaming platform this month. While this might not be dramatically similar enough to become a Dante's Peak/Volcano situation, it's hard not to watch Amazon's The Map That Leads to You, out this week, and frequently think about Netflix's loosely similar My Oxford Year, released at the start of August. What immediately separates the two, and often separates Netflix and Amazon movies in general, is the aesthetic. My Oxford Year is every bit a TV movie while The Map That Leads to You is as glossy and sweeping as one deserving of a big screen release. That's both the Jeff Bezos budget bump but also the benefit of having a director like Lasse Hallström at the helm. The Oscar-nominated Swedish film-maker was once Hollywood's master of the middlebrow movie, behind Sunday afternoon specials like Chocolat and The Cider House Rules. But it's his later Nicholas Sparks adaptations Dear John and Safe Haven that made him the ideal choice here, smoothly guiding an adaptation of JP Monninger's sappy 2017 novel The Map That Leads to You (the book is even adorned by a Sparks quote). Trusty hands help in making the film feel grander especially when the emotion of the story, adapted by Dante's Peak's Les Bohem and Don't Make Me Go's Vera Herbert, can't quite get us there. We meet Heather (Madelyn Cline) and her two friends as they near the final stretch of their Eurotrip, perfectly bullet pointed to the final detail. Heather is a type A over-thinker, whose Notes app schedule for her post-graduation and pre-first job in the city hurrah did not include having a meet-cute with Jack (Riverdale's KJ Apa), a handsome New Zealander and fellow Ernest Hemingway fan. He's everything she isn't – impulsive and unplanned – and she finds herself changing her plan, and herself, as the pair start to fall in love. Apa is a likable enough actor but he struggles to sell a lot of Jack's manic pixie dream boy shtick, blandly insisting on the power of living in the moment and saying things like: 'I really believe that your thoughts help create your future,' with a straight face. The film's reheated messaging about the importance of following heart over head is ultimately a sneaky way to push the female lead off her course and on to his, as she relinquishes control to let him lead the way. Their jaunt around Europe, now on his terms, is a simple, seductive watch less for their burgeoning relationship, although they have decently sparky chemistry, and more for the crisply captured scenery, a lush and transporting late summer trip for us stuck at home, from Spain to Portugal to Italy and so on. Hallström knows exactly how to make his films look and feel delectable and at a time of ongoing streamer tinniness, it's a pleasure to be led by someone who truly knows where he's going. It's just a shame that we're being led somewhere so familiar. Not just because My Oxford Year recently took us there too (the 'reveal' is almost identical) but because so many romantic dramas have taken us there before. Both films try to avoid the standard cliches that come with the territory but neither manages anything truly new or, more importantly, poignant enough to bring the tears that should be cascading by the finale. Cline, as she recently showed in the I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel, is an incredibly engaging young star but one hopes her career leads her somewhere more unconventional next. The Map That Leads to You is available on Amazon Prime Video on 20 August
