Home insurance claims involving hot tubs in the UK nearly tripled last year.

Aviva has released the figure and the firm thinks it's down to people spending more time in their homes and gardens during Covid-19 lockdowns.

Claims it accepted included a grass strimmer bursting an inflatable tub, birds pecking holes in a spa cover and an engagement ring ripping a tub lining.

Aviva says damage claims from people tripping over them and falling parasols have also been recorded.

There's also been an increase in items like mobile phones being dropped into the tub or knocked off it.

As expected, these were mostly mobile phones, but other items also include hearing aids, watches and tablets, reports The Guardian.

There were also quite a few thefts involving hot tubs, believe it or not.
