Some people will do anything to top up their tans.
But this woman took it to the extreme as she stripped to her underwear in yesterday’s sunshine and sunbathed on a narrow fourth storey ledge.
Unsurprisingly, the death defying sun worshipper turned out to be an Italian desperate for a reminder of home.
High risk: Sunseeker Elisabeth Lofaro sunbathing at her West London flat as the rest of Britain basked in glorious weather
Elisabeth Lofaro only moved into her one-bedroom apartment in the heart of London’s West End a week ago.
Without a care in the world, the 36-year-old Italian, took a pillow and dressing gown to make herself comfortable and positioned herself next to a satellite dish to catch the rays of sunshine that glistened down the narrow street.
Originally from Rome having only moved to London three weeks ago, she was one of thousands who enjoyed scorching temperatures across the country.
Experts say it could reach as high as 28C by the weekend as a warm burst of hot air sweeps in from Greece and Turkey.

Miss Lofaro said: ‘It was such a beautiful day, it reminded me of back home. I can’t see what fuss there could be, it wasn’t like I was naked.
‘I noticed a few workers in the offices opposite trying not to look at me and found that really funny.
‘If the good weather stays I’m sure I’ll be back out there. There’s a small ledge below, so I felt quite safe.
‘Perhaps the balcony was a subconscious selling point for me when I looked round.’
Formerly a Professor of English at universities in Florida and Virginia in the U.S. she decided she wanted to change careers.
Sunny disposition: Elisabeth Lofaro sat on her balcony today
Next week she starts a new job as a personal assistant to the headmaster at a school in north London.
The Met Office have said the hot weather is expected to stay until Sunday, with temperatures hitting 28C.
If the heatwave stays until the weekend it would make it the hottest October day in 26 years.
