Daytripper risks his life climbing 150ft Durdle Door for the perfect selfie as Brits hit beaches and

AN idiot daytripper risks his life to take a selfie on top of 150ft ­Durdle Door.

The man, thought to be in his 30s, climbed on to the limestone arch in Dorset, with his phone and a selfie stick.

He posed for several pictures and gave a thumbs-up to pals below.

James Weld, of landowners the Lulworth Estate, said: “This man is foolish to say the least.

"Worst of all is the potential danger he might have put others in, particularly the emergency services, should he have fallen."

It came as Brits made the most of the day's warmer temperatures, which hit 23C in some areas.

Crowds flocked to bars and beaches to enjoy the sunny weather - and UK temperatures are set to rise later this week.

It’s also predicted that we are set to be scorched by a heatwave next week with temperatures reaching 30C, Netweather maps show.

The Met Office said it was "too early" to tell if there will definitely be a heatwave but temperatures could be in the "mid-20s".
