As the UK goes through its first ever red heatwave warning with temperatures expected to reach highs of 40C, Cancer Research has issued an urgent warning over skin cancer risk.
The warning urges men in the UK to take particular care of their skin during the heatwave, as research estimates that six men a day - equating to 1,400 a year - die due to melanoma skin cancer.
Rates of skin cancer among men have been increasing since 1973 and compared to women, men are 69% more likely to die from the illness.
