The handy gadget comes with three speed settings, low medium and high, and has a two hour battery life, so you can keep cool whilst on the go.

How to keep cool in hot weather
Most of us welcome hot weather, but when it's too hot, there are health risks. Here are three ways to keep cool according to the NHS...
Keep out of the heat if you can.
If you have to go outside, stay in the shade especially between 11am and 3pm, wear sunscreen, a hat and light clothes, and avoid exercise or activity that makes you hotter.
Cool yourself down.
Have cold food and drinks, avoid alcohol, caffeine and hot drinks, and have a cool shower or put cool water on your skin or clothes.
Keep your living space cool.
Close windows during the day and open them at night when the temperature outside has gone down. Electric fans can help if the temperature is below 35 degrees. Check the temperature of rooms, especially where people at higher risk live and sleep.
Lidl is also currently selling a Silvercrest Tower fan for £69.99, a whopping £280 cheaper than Dyson's £350 bladeless fan.
Aldi is also selling a Dyson dupe, with its Ambiano Bladeless Fan currently priced at £39.99.
The modern design bladeless fan has three speed settings, high, medium, low, plus three modes: normal, nature and sleep.
You can customise your sleep with the various modes and tailor it to your own temperature needs during the day - and most importantly, for a good night's sleep at bedtime.
Plus, with its bladeless design, it's safe around little people or pets.

Will summer sun spark sizzling sales at H&M?
H&M will later this week reveal whether the heatwave has boosted Britain's struggling High Street. Dismal figures last week showed retail sales tumbled 2.7 per cent in May in the biggest drop in 18 months – much steeper than the 0.5 per cent dip forecast by economists. But there are hopes the recent hot weather will have encouraged shoppers to splash the cash. The Swedish fashion group is expected to report a rise in sales for the three months to the end of May in an update on Thursday. But H&M reported weaker-than-expected sales for the first quarter of its financial year in its previous update in March. Sales rose 2 per cent to £4.2billion in the three months to February 28, slowing to 1 per cent in March.

£20m bridge investment to secure Fishguard ferry port's future
A ferry company says it plans to invest up to £20m to upgrade Fishguard Line's investment will pay for a new linkspan, a type of drawbridge which allows vessels to move on and off a is hoped building work will begin in 2026, and that the new bridge will be ready in 2027.A spokesperson for the company said the announcement signalled a firm commitment to the port for the "next 30 to 40 years". A previous project to build a new linkspan was cancelled in 2018 which caused concern locally about the future of the company had already invited tenders for the construction project when it made the the time it was said the current single lane linkspan, installed in the early 1970s, was approaching the end of its line operates a twice daily roll-on roll-off ferry service between Fishguard and Rosslare in the Republic of Ireland. Fishguard port saw an increase in sailings after Holyhead was closed after berthing terminals were damaged there during Storm Darragh in December Pembrokeshire port was used to provide relief freight sailings to Dublin and to help clear a backlog of traffic caused by the closure of the berths at Holyhead. The largest ever ferry to visit Fishguard, the Stena Adventurer, docked at the port during the disruption caused by Storm Davies from Stena Line admitted the investment was "overdue" but the new linkspan will provide far more flexibility. He said: "It'll offer many things. Because the structure is a lot bigger, in essence it means that in future we can fit any size of ferry on to this berth which we don't have that flexibility at the moment. "As was shown during Storm Darragh, and the issues up at Holyhead, we were able to bring some other ships in to Fishguard but it was quite a struggle to do that. This really adds to the resilience that Stena Line ports have. We can bring vessels in, change vessels around, if and when the circumstances arise."It brings us right up to date. It's a commitment really for the next 30-40 years that we have the infrastructure now to take this port to wherever the business takes us." Haulier Peter Harding, who has been operating from his base in Pembrokeshire for more than 34 years and uses Fishguard regularly, said the news was "very welcome"."It will make the loading and unloading a lot more efficient and quicker," he said."And not only that, it won't limit it to certain ships that can dock. Now, other ships can dock as well. Going back six months ago when Holyhead was closed, the staff and Fishguard as a whole really upped their game to the amount of freight that was coming through there - it was unbelievable. "I just think that this is a fantastic thing to be happening for north Pembrokeshire. South Pembrokeshire seems to get the spotlight on lots of things and it's good for the local community. It's good for jobs. It's a win-win situation." Building work is likely to begin in 2026, and the port will have to close for six to eight weeks during that new linkspan should be completed in 100 people from Pembrokeshire work on the shoreside operations and on the route between Fishguard and Rosslare.

Premier League questions Chelsea over ‘unauthorised ticket seller' co-owned by Todd Boehly
The Premier League has demanded answers from Chelsea over the 'unauthorised' reselling of Premier League tickets by a website co-owned by Todd Boehly. In an open letter, the Chelsea Supporters' Trust requested in March that the English top tier act 'swiftly' in investigating club chairman Boehly's involvement in Vivid Seats. Richard Masters, the league's chief executive, has now confirmed at a Football Supporters' Association event that the competition had written to the club. According to minutes of the recent FSA event, Masters 'confirmed the PL [Premier League] had written to Chelsea to seek clarification on the club's position with the matter ongoing. RM [Masters] advised the PL would reply to CST [Chelsea Supporters' Trust] once the PL had concluded its discussions with the club.' Telegraph Sport first reported in February how Vivid Seats, a US-based online marketplace of which Boehly is both an investor and director, was allowing foreign-based users to buy and sell Premier League tickets for up to tens of thousands of pounds. Boehly has not been accused of any wrongdoing. CST had asked the league to 'act and investigate' the situation which they believe is both a 'breach of trust' and 'a clear conflict of interest'. The trust has also submitted evidence against the American company to the Government's Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). Chelsea recently pledged to take action on ticket touting but did not name Vivid Seats or other ticket resellers. Vivid does not allow fans based in Britain to buy or sell tickets – the latter of which would be illegal – but its business model does raise the prospect of Chelsea co-owner Boehly profiting from the kind of activity his own club have repeatedly denounced. The CST wrote in its March letter to Masters: 'We have received a significant amount of correspondence from concerned CST members and supporters from the wider Chelsea FC fan base on this issue that cannot be ignored.' Boehly has not commented but Vivid Seats previously said in a statement: 'As a global business, we are always respectful and cognisant of local regulatory policies and procedures that are in place in any market to ensure we are compliant. As such, our policy restricts the sale of EPL tickets from UK sellers. We can confirm that we do not have any UK sellers listing EPL inventory on our marketplace. Additionally, Vivid Seats does not and has never directly marketed or advertised Premier League tickets to UK customers.' Boehly, a director and investor in Vivid, described as an 'unauthorised ticket seller' by the league, also owns a 13 per cent stake in Chelsea.
