A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.

Scorchio! Boiling-hot weather across much of the UK on Sunday has the papers reaching for their thermometers.

It also means lots of pictures of children eating ice-creams, pensioners snoozing in deckchairs and scantily-clad girls soaking up the rays on packed British beaches.

It was the hottest day of the year so far, proclaim the papers, warmer than the Caribbean and the surface of Mars. Well, not quite, but you get the idea.

Rear watch alert - the reports that Pippa Middleton has been offered a "not-so-bum" deal by the Ö÷²¥´óÐã to appear on Strictly Come Dancing.

The Sun has been pursuing this story with admirable vigour ever since the 27-year-old made headlines around the world when she showed off her "shapely rear" at the wedding of big sister Kate to Prince William.

Now Ö÷²¥´óÐã bosses have put up a five-figure sum to see her bottom "boogie-woogie" across the floor, says the Sun (gleefully).
