With a hot week ahead in the UK, a new bikini that reminds sunbathers to turn over so they don't get burnt has been launched in the UK.

The Tan-Timer Bikini has an electronic timer that beeps every 15 minutes to remind its wearer to roll over or seek shade.

The £20 bikini is going on sale in UK high street chain New Look, the country's third biggest women's clothes retailer.

The manufacturers hope it will appeal to the 59 per cent of beachgoers who admit to a tendency to falling asleep in the sun.
