A woman enjoying the sizzling weather ended up with the Adidas logo scorched onto her leg.

Danielle Viagus-Fister was wearing the branded leggings on a boiling hot day.

She was enjoying the sunny weather as she waited for her friends to return from a driving lesson, the Mirror report.

But when she went to change she saw the logo had been branded onto her skin with the burnt red area around the letters highlighting the pale skin of the German clothing firm.

"It was when I went to put on my bikini that I saw my leg," Danielle said. "I thought 'Oh my God'. I was in fits of laughter."

Suspecting that the logo will fade from her leg by the morning, the Poole, Dorset woman was quick to capitalise on the unusual occurence.

As well as collecting "loads of shares" when she posted it online Danielle contacted Adidas asking if they would hire her as an on-brand model.

Sadly the company turned down her request, complimenting her on a "nice tan" before admitting it only took sponsorship bids from Australia and Germany.

Danielle seems to have drawn a particularly unlucky card.

Covering up should provide protection from the sun but either the ferocity of the sun or the thin material of the Adidas leggings meant she was left with the unfortunate marks.

More than half of parents said they got sunburnt in the UK within the last year, as the summer holidays get off to a sweltering start.

Some 55% of parents with children under 18 got burnt, with almost three quarters (72%) saying they would be more likely to use sun protection abroad, a survey for Cancer Research UK and Nivea Sun found.

More than a third (35%) of the parents said they got burnt while in their gardens, with the beach the second most likely location for skin damage.

The first week of the school holidays has seen scorching temperatures, with the mercury exceeding 30C (86F) on Tuesday and forecasters predicting the week to get even hotter.

Parents are being encouraged to keep themselves and their children safe in the sun, with a fifth of those surveyed saying they did not feel they were setting a good example.

The YouGov survey questioned more than 2,000 adults in the UK, of which 463 were parents, over two days in April.
