Rylan Clark was quick to bite back after he exclaimed 'I can't believe I'm saying this' as he shared a series of images to both his Instagram and Twitter accounts. Like plenty of others across the county, the BBC Radio 2 host nipped outside on Monday night (February 27) as the Northern Lights were amazingly visible in the UK.
While many make the trip to Iceland in an attempt to see the incredible light phenomenon, which occur as a direct result of solar activity colliding with the Earth's atmosphere, the Aurora Borealis lit up the skies in some parts of the country on Sunday and Monday night.
Head of space weather at the Met Office Mark Gibbs explained that the clarity of the northern lights on Sunday night was the result of a perfect combination of a cloud-free sky, clear air, and a dim moon. The activity over the past few days was the result of a large solar storm, which Mr Gibbs said was not unusual for this point in the solar cycle.
