Holidaymaker gets shock as Greece heat causes beach bag to catch fire

One British holidaymaker received quite the shock as her beach bag caught fire while she sunbathed in Greece.

Eva Bacchoo showed off the charred remains of her Primark tote on TikTok as she explained what had happened.

The temperature was around 30 degrees when the fire started.
