Where to find your nearest Tango Ice Blast to survive the heatwave
But when opening every window in your house won't cut it, and the office air conditioning is on the blink, there's only one thing for it: a cheeky Tango Ice Blast.
Our favourite cinema drink, which comes in flavours including strawberry and kiwi, lemon, orange, and even bubblegum has a special place in the nation's heart.
The popular flavour combination of blue raspberry and cherry is even jokingly touted as the 'drink of the bisexuals' for resembling the colours of the purple, pink and blue flag. It is Pride Month, after all.
Comedian Romesh Ranganathan also once declared the drink to be 'unadulterated joy', and dreamt of having his very own machine at home. Fair enough, Romesh.
For all those hoping to enjoy a deliciously tangy Ice Blast without shelling out for a film ticket, we bring good news: it isn't just cinemas that sell them…
Tango have got this firmly covered, as there's a map on the website with every single Ice Blast location in the UK pinned.
There are cinemas, supermarkets, service stations and dessert shops – and there's even an option for companies to apply for a machine on the Tango website.
If you can't bear the thought of going outside, Just Eat also delivers them. Simply type in your postcode on the website, et voilà. Sugary, icy goodness at your fingertips.
Earlier this year, various supermarkets and stores, including B&M, Nisa, Spar, Co-op, Iceland, and Home Bargains, launched a ready-to-drink version of the Tango Ice Blast.
At budget retailers B&M, Iceland, and Home Bargains, the drinks cost £3.35 per two-litre bottle.
While that might sound a little bit steep (it also won't be icy), it comes in the same tangy flavours die-hard fans know and love: cherry and raspberry – and is considerably cheaper than the £9 some cinema goers have previously reported paying for one drink.
In the r/Britishproblems Subreddit, @FloatingPencil previously suggested that 'as soon as it's warm, every Tango Ice Blast and McD's milkshake machine within 10 miles stops working.' After all, don't we all just want an icy drink to get us through? More Trending
'Blew my mind when I found out an off-licence near me had an Ice Blast machine just chilling at the back,' @DanHero91 added. '£3 instead of the monstrous cinema prices.'
@itshippyzoe confessed that they were in 'dire need' of a Tango Ice Blast during a previous heatwave. Since it was 'killing' them at the time, a serving of icy goodness seemed their only way of respite.

'There's nothing stopping you from buying foodstuff at the cinema, you don't have to see a film to buy them,' @Fatso666 reckoned in the comments, while @SquareBev joked that 'Blackpool Pleasure Beach might be your only hope' of finding one.

Frankie Bridge secures major TV job after ongoing ITV Loose Women feud
Frankie Bridge has landed a brand new role with ITV as she takes on the role of a judge of an upcoming series, following her reported rift with her Loose Women co-stars Former Saturdays singer Frankie Bridge has landed a new ITV role following a reported feud with her co-star Myleene Klass. Frankie, 36, has been involved in a rumoured feud with Myleene and also her former bandmate Rochelle Humes in recent weeks, and ITV reportedly had to step in to ensure the panellists didn't cross paths. Frankie has now bagged a new role on ITV and will be appearing as a judge on the upcoming series of ITV's M&S: Dress The Nation. The singer is known for her style and has regularly shared her fashion outfits and tips online in recent years. Her sense of style has been noted since she first stepped into the spotlight with The Saturdays, and when she had her iconic pixie haircut. The show was announced earlier this year with presenters Vernon Kay and AJ Odudu back on our screens. It comes after David Beckham speaks 'as a father' in 'family' announcement after latest Brooklyn snub. A source revealed to the Daily Star: "Producers think Frankie is perfect for the show because she's so fashionable." The Mirror has contacted Frankie's representatives for comment. Despite the reported rift between Frankie and the ladies, they appeared to shut down the rumours as Rochelle and Frankie have both been interacting with one another on Instagram and showing their support for one another. After Frankie shared a glimpse into her holiday, Rochelle liked the post, and vice versa, after Rochelle went on holiday. However, neither of the ladies has interacted online with Myleene and doesn't even follow her online. The three Loose Women stars were once thought to be good friends, as Myleene and Frankie attended Rochelle's hen do back in 2012, however, Rochelle and Frankie have remained friends with Myleene's ex-husband Graham Quinn. A source previously said: 'Myleene seemed to take that as Frankie taking sides with Graham because of their working relationship." It comes as Frankie took to social media to share a cryptic message amid speculation of the rift between herself and Myleene. Frankie posted on TikTok as she enjoyed her latest getaway, and in the clip, she is filmed at a beach resort miming along to Manchild by Sabrina Carpenter. The video was captioned: "Taking 36 years to realise being a people pleaser doesn't please anyone." She went on: "Fad diets are a waste of time. Turns out it's all about balance?! Who knew?! Only you can make yourself happy." And Frankie added: "You can do the hard thing! You've got this." She then added a red love heart emoji to her post. Fans were quick to agree with her comments, letting their feelings be known on the post.

Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Frankie Bridge has landed a major new ITV role Credit: Getty 5 It is a huge boost for the star away from Loose Women Credit: Rex 5 She will be a judge on M&S: Dress The Nation Credit: ITV The Sun told how ITV had been forced to step-in to ensure there was little-to-no interaction between the former friends amid feelings of tension between the trio. But in a huge boost to Frankie, she has cemented her position at ITV even further after bagging a brand new role on the channel. The singer will be appearing as a judge on the upcoming series of ITV's M&S: Dress The Nation. Frankie has launched her own fashion edits on social media in recent years and was always noted for her style during her popstar days. ITV were quick to jump on this and hire her to give her best critique's to the contestants on the hit show. It was revealed earlier this year that Dress The Nation would be back with Vernon Kay and AJ Odudu back in the hot seat to host. A source told the Daily Star of Frankie's casting on the show: "Producers think Frankie is perfect for the show because she's so fashionable." It will no doubt raise the eyebrow of Rochelle, who is a long-standing brand ambassador for Marks & Spencer, which has an active partnership in the programme. Despite rumours of a rift between the ladies, they dropped huge clues recently that all was well between them. Rochelle and Frankie have both been interacting with one another on Instagram by liking a slew of each other's snaps. Rochelle showed her appreciation for Frankie's holiday snaps with Frankie returning the favour on her bandmate's posts - throwing speculation of an ongoing rift out of the window. Watch the awkward moment feuding stars Myleene Klass and Frankie Bridge come face to face on live TV However, neither of the ladies have engaged with Myleene since it emerged that the former Hear'Say singer was feuding with them both. Neither Rochelle or Frankie follow her on social media. All three former pop stars now work as Daytime presenters at ITV. They were all once close, with Loose Women hosts Myleene and Frankie attending Rochelle's hen do back in 2012.

In 2013, soon after Myleene's divorce from Graham, guests at the Glamour Women of the Year awards saw her storm over to Frankie after believing she had been blanked. A source previously said: 'Myleene seemed to take that as Frankie taking sides with Graham because of their working relationship." Meanwhile, Frankie and Myleene have not appeared on Loose Women together since an 'awkward' episode last December. Sources said that though they'd rather not be on together, they are professionals and do their best to make things work.

Tried it on and found that it didn't quite hang right, ordered a smaller size which I have kept but not worn yet. There was not much difference between the sizes but the smaller size sat better. Fingers crossed it's not too small."
