An Amazon Prime Day deal has cut the price of a paddling pool in the midst of the UK's heatwave.

As the UK continues to swelter in over 30 degree temperatures, many of us are searching for ways to stay cool.
For those with a garden, a paddling pool is a cheap yet effective solution to find some relief during the hottest days.
The Intex 6ft x 20in Easy Set Swimming Pool is an affordable option, and for under £26 it's probably going to cost you less than one day out, plus you'll have it for years to come.
Its compact size makes it easy to set up in smaller gardens, so it should fit even if you've got limited outdoor space.
The simple, no frills option measures 183cm x 51cm, so it's big enough for a few kids to splash around in to cool off, and also encourages them to play outside away from screens.
It comes flat, with almost no set-up needed, as the pool reaches its shape as you fill it with water, and when it's not in use, you can easily fold it up and pack it away.
Although it hasn't been the only paddling pool to drop in price during the sale, many of the deals have sold out, so you'll want to be quick as there's no guarantee that stock will last until the end of the day.
If you're a parent you'll know that keeping kids entertained can be tricky, and with the school holidays around the corner, now is a great time to stock up on some bargains to keep them happy.
The pool has racked up a whopping 37,000 reviews on Amazon, with many giving five-star ratings.
One shopper said: ''Best buy for this summer!''
''Easy to set up, I recommend adding the filter system.''
Another happy customer added: ''It's been a godsend through our heatwave. I'm so glad I bought it before the hot weather came.''
While a third praised the heatwave buy, commenting: ''Best thing I ever bought for the school holidays.''
