M&S filmed their Xmas ad in my village during the August heatwave.. the pub never looked so good, do you recognise it?
Scroll down to see the snap which has left eagle-eyed viewers in hysterics YULE LOVE IT M&S filmed their Xmas ad in my village during the August heatwave.. the pub never looked so good, do you recognise it? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT may be the fourth heatwave in the UK - but it's already beginning to look a lot like Christmas in one village. While millions of Brits have been flooding to beaches to make the most out of the glorious sunshine, a leafy town in Hertfordshire has been turned into Winter Wonderland. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 One sleepy village has already been turned into Winter Wonderland Credit: instagram/@itschloegranger 4 Chloe Granger, a local resident, shared snaps of the festive makeover on TikTok Credit: instagram/@itschloegranger 4 According to Chloe, the popular supermarket M&S was filming their Christmas ad in her village - during the fourth heatwave of 2025 Credit: instagram/@itschloegranger According to the locals, Marks & Spencer is currently working on their much-anticipated Christmas ad, which last year featured TV comedy legend Dawn French. The retailer kicked off the festive season with the launch of the video through its social media channels at 9am last November. But while fans still have a while to wait to see the final masterpiece starring Aimee Lou, one local, Chloe Granger, recently shared snaps of her hometown following the festive makeover - so, do you recognise it? Outside the local pub, the popular supermarket had placed several Christmas trees and a huge, rich green garland upon the entrance. The whole street was also covered in fake snow - and the light sky indeed gave it that crispy winter morning feel. The rest of the picturesque buildings, she shared in the video, also featured a variety of ''cute'' decorations to fit the theme. ''Fake snow lining the streets! If only it actually looked like this in winter,'' chuckled Chloe who posts under the username @itschloegranger. After strolling down the local street, the resident said she was inspired by the decorations - despite it being one of the hottest weeks of the year. ''It looks so festive, walking around really got me in the mood for Christmas, even though this was happening in the middle of a heatwave. ''Can't wait to see the ad!'' M&S reveals SIX different Christmas food adverts featuring comedy legend and music star Chloe - who lives in Hatfield - also shared a hilarious snap where TikTok users could see people walking around topless and in shorts, which made for a rather bizarre contrast. ''It definitely took a sec for my brain to make sense of what I was seeing,'' she chuckled. Chloe added she was ''very ready for the festive season and cooler weather now''. The jaw-dropping transformation of the sleepy town has since taken the platform by storm, racking up close to 570k views in just one day. As almost 45k people gave it a like, more than 190 flooded to comments, where one said: ''It's making me crave winter so much.'' Another chuckled: ''I'd be saying you can use my house as long as i can keep the decorations you put up.'' A third was stunned, writing: ''It's actually mental how these photos make it look like a crispy winter morning at sunrise.'' Someone else chimed in: ''Imagine how hot any actors feel, having to walk down the street in winter clothes, when it's 30 degrees outside.''

Darius Danesh fans 'devastated' as ex wife pays tribute on anniversary and reveals she still misses him
Scots Pop Idol star Darius Danesh suddenly passed away in August 2022. Darius Campbell Danesh's ex-wife has left fans teary-eyed after she paid tribute to the late Scots singer on the third anniversary of his death this week. The former Pop Idol contestant, from Glasgow, passed away aged 41 in August 2022 after inhaling chloroethane - also known as ethyl chloride - at his Minnesota apartment. Three years on from his tragic death, Canadian actress Natasha Henstridge, who filed for divorce from Danesh 2013 after just over two years of marriage, has confessed she still misses him dearly. Taking to Instagram, the 50-year-old shared a series of snaps of her and the late singer together, including one adorable photo of her perched on Darius' back while they posed in front of the Eiffel Tower. Another sweet snap showed Darius gently stroking and touching heads with a horse. The post, which was uploaded on August 11, said: "Love and light always. Miss you today…. Sending love to the Danesh's and everyone whose life he touched." Fans rushed to the comment section to send their love and support. One wrote: "Met this delightful man twice. He seemed such a gentleman. Thinking of you lovely lady." A second commented: "I was only ever a fan of his. Never met him. His passing was devastating. Sending love and light your way xx" Someone else penned: "I still can't quite believe that he's gone", alongside a broken heart emoji. A fourth replied: "I think about this guy every so often. Clearly a very gentle soul. RIP." Yet another fan commented on Darius' kind nature as they recalled how he helped them out in a time of a need. They wrote: "He was a beautiful person, he helped me one night when I got separated from my friends in the printsworks in Manchester. "He got My a warm drink from where he was performing and payed for my taxi home, he was a true gentleman, there was no I'm a big star he was a down to earth genuine lovely person, I have never forgot that that day." According to the Colour Blind hitmaker's girlfriend, Darius had been "living with a broken neck" and an undiagnosed heart condition when he died. Lauren Cheek explained that an autopsy showed that his heart was "twice the size" it should have been and that she believes he used the recreational anaesthetic to alleviate the pain. She told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "Darius was living with this heart condition that he didn't know he had. So many things could have taken him, but this one thing did, and he died in his sleep. "His mum told me they only found out after they did the autopsy. His heart was twice the size it was supposed to be, which was fitting, because that is genuinely how he was - he had so much love. "The autopsy also found he was living with a broken neck, but he refused to get help or complain about it. I think he used (chloroethane) because he was in so much pain and he didn't want to take pills, not even aspirin. That's what killed him — the substance mixed with his heart and he couldn't take it."
