A number of Geordie Shore stars seized the opportunity to catch some rays as they joined crowds of others in Tynemouth on Tuesday as temperature soared to the mid to late 30s by the coast.
While some sceptics played down the extreme weather as 'just summer,' the thermometer didn't lie as figures climbed to a record breaking 38 degrees on Tyneside. And, those lucky enough to not be at work took full advantage of the region being bathed in scorching hot conditions by heading out for the way.
The coast offered slightly less intense heat than inland, with Tynemouth pulling in crowds of sun seekers before the clock had even struck mid-day, with scenes of packed beaches echoed elsewhere around the North East at other locations like South Shields and Roker.
