It was really fun… but I'm not feeling well: Sigrid powers through sunny set
But despite the high temperatures, which are set to continue into Sunday, Sigrid gave TRNSMT a thumbs up.

'It was really fun,' she told the PA news agency. 'It was incredibly hot.
'I'm still a bit like, honestly, I gotta admit, I'm not feeling very well.
'I'm okay, but it's I'm not used to the heat. But it was great. The crowd, was really, really lovely.
'I was very impressed by how they braved the heat. This is probably one of the hottest shows we've ever done.'
The Strangers singer added: 'It was really tough. This is one of the few shows where I've not been moving that much.
'It felt a bit like I should have given more but I just wasn't able to. But it was really really fun and it was really nice to see Glasgow again.'
Sigrid said she had tried haggis, which she described as 'weird' (Andrew Milligan/PA)
The pop star spoke as The Kooks played their set on the main stage in the background.
She said the band was fundamental to her learning music from a young age.
'That was my whole childhood, or my whole youth' she said as the indie band played Sofa Song.
'Seaside, I remember I covered that song.
'And She Moves In Her Own Way is one of the first songs I learned on guitar.'
She added: 'The Kooks were so integral to me learning instruments.'
She said TRNSMT was one of her favourite festivals, adding that it was 'amazing' and getting 'better and better' every year.
She described Scottish crowds as 'amazing, and very loud, rowdy'.
'I feel like in Scotland people are rooting for me,' she said.
'Today, I honestly was wondering am I gonna faint soon.
'If it's not me surely someone in the audience must faint. Earlier today, I just felt they were rooting for everyone to do well.'
The Norwegian artist said she went to a farm near Glasgow before the festival to try some Scottish foods.
Sigrid said she was a fan of Buckfast (Danny Lawson/PA)
The singer said she had tried haggis before in Scotland, which she described as 'weird'.
She had also tried Buckfast which she said was 'intense'.
'I just got handed Buckfast once when we were playing Usher Hall,' she said. 'It was quite nice.'
Crowds will hear Fontaines DC perform on Saturday night before Biffy Clyro close out the show.
Fans will hear Gracie Abrams on Sunday night before Snow Patrol performs the final set.

BBC star leading the race to replace John Torode on MasterChef – after star is ‘asked to step down' from show
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A popular BBC star is the front runner to replace John Torode on MasterChef. Australian star Torode, 59, has been asked to step down from his long-running role on the show after an historic accusation of racism, which he has no memory of and denies ever happened. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Matt Tebbutt is a front runner to replace John Torode on MasterChef Credit: PA 4 Torode has denied using racist language after an allegation was made against him Credit: PA The claim against him emerged as part of an investigation into his shamed former co-star Gregg Wallace that saw 45 of 83 allegations of bad behaviour upheld against him. While food critic Grace Dent has already led the celebrity version of the show and is a favourite to present the amateur version too, Saturday Kitchen's Matt Tebbutt is also being lined up. It's believed he has already landed the job fronting MasterChef: The Professionals. A TV insider said: 'Both Grace and Matt are well thought of at the Beeb and the one thing they want in the wake of the show's recent crisis is familiarity and safety. 'They're also conscious that having a male and female pairing is a welcome break from it being fronted by two blokes.' Meanwhile, Torode was cited — but not named — in findings published over a racist remark he allegedly made during a private conversation. Torode, who has hosted the BBC1 cooking show with Wallace since 2005, was shocked to be told of the allegation — which did not receive a complaint at the time but had been raised with investigators. In a farcical turn of events, the BBC was unable to specify the time or date of the allegation, narrowing it down to '2018 or 2019'. Shockingly, sources said the BBC and production company Banijay asked John to resign from the beleaguered show last week and claim he had mental health problems — to which he refused. He issued a statement to The Sun confirming he was the individual in the Wallace investigation who was 'alleged to have used racial language on one occasion'. 'Devastated' Gregg Wallace FIRED by BBC over MasterChef sexual comments However John — married to actress and ex-Celebrity MasterChef contestant Lisa Faulkner, 53 — believes it never even happened. The dad of four said: 'The allegation is I did so sometime between 2018 or 2019, in a social situation, and the person I was speaking with did not believe it was intended in a malicious way and I apologised immediately afterwards. "I have absolutely no recollection of any of this, and I do not believe that it happened 'However, I want to be clear that I've always had the view that any racial language is wholly unacceptable in any environment. 'I'm shocked and saddened by the allegation as I would never wish to cause anyone any offence.' 4 John married actress and ex-Celebrity MasterChef contestant Lisa Faulkner Credit: PA:Press Association 4 John and Gregg began hosting a revamped MasterChef in 2005 Credit: Shine Ltd It is understood to be the only issue involving him in the report, though a source close to him said he is 'absolutely devastated to have been pulled into this mess'. They went on: 'He was at drinks after filming when he is alleged to have used an inappropriate racial term. "The witness said he apologised instantly, and he was mortified. 'The witness even stated he didn't use the term as a slur. 'No one complained at the time, but it's been brought up during the inquiry. "Shockingly he was only made aware of the incident two weeks ago and was only informed on Friday that it would be upheld." The BBC called John on Thursday night, followed by an email on Friday, asking him to step back. He was told to have his answer by Monday. A source claimed: 'They ambushed him, and it was suggested he quit due to the stress and scrutiny of the furore around the show. 'Obviously he was absolutely shocked and appalled and told them quite firmly he didn't have any mental health issues. "To try to use mental health as a get-out clause seems incredibly low — and is also deeply unfair to those with genuine mental health trauma. 'John absolutely loves MasterChef, and doesn't want to lose his job because of an investigation into his co-star."

Anita Manning's age unveiled as Bargain Hunt star was Scotland's 'first female auctioneer'
Anita Manning is a familiar face on the BBC, appearing on a number of antiques shows including Bargain Hunt, Flog It! and Antiques Road Trip - but what is known of her life away from TV? Anita Manning, the esteemed Scottish antiques expert and cherished presenter on the BBC daytime series Bargain Hunt, as well as a familiar face on shows such as Flog It! and Antiques Road Trip, has an illustrious career and is hailed as Scotland's first female auctioneer. Her love for antiques was kindled by her father who would take young Anita to auctions in Glasgow, sparking a passion that would shape her professional journey. Her venture into antiques began in the 1970s when she seized an opportunity to work as a buyer, following the purchase of a bed from an Irish dealer. Despite her thriving career in antiques, Anita's CV also includes various other roles. She studied dance and PE in Aberdeen and Edinburgh and had a spell as a teacher before starting her own family. With the arrival of her children, Anita shifted her focus back to antiques, immersing herself in the trade of buying and selling furniture nationwide. Her entrepreneurial spirit led to the founding of Great Western Auctions in 1989, which she now operates with her daughter Lala. Fans of Anita on Bargain Hunt are often intrigued about her age, given her lively presence on TV. Born on December 1, 1947, Anita is currently 77 years old and will be celebrating her 78th birthday at the end of this year. Glasgow-born Anita holds her home city close to her heart, evidenced by her decision to base her successful business there. Reflecting on her career, Anita made it clear that she's had a lifelong ardour: "For as long as I can remember I have been passionate about Art, Antiques and Auctions. "The beauty in craftsmanship and design, coupled with the social history of the objects, that I am privileged to handle on a daily basis, has been a continual source of joy. "The drama and excitement of the auction world has been a most stimulating environment and one I relish being a part of. "Great Western Auctions was established in 1989 by myself and my daughter, Lala. "Although the company has grown enormously over the last 26 years, we still regard ourselves as a family firm providing a personal experience and dedicated service to our clients." Anita demonstrated her extensive knowledge in the realm of fine arts, particularly noting her expertise in paintings by 20th century Scottish artists, as well as her refined taste in both glass and studio pottery. Delving into her early influences, she disclosed that her passion for collectables was ignited by cherished childhood memories spent admiring the mahogany furniture in her granny's house. Bargain Hunt airs on BBC One on weekdays at 12.15pm
