X Factor man says going to B&M was like 'being transported to hell'

A former X-Factor contestant, Marlon McKenzie, described visiting a B&M store during a heatwave as feeling like 'being transported to hell,' due to the extreme heat causing the store's chocolate stock to melt. McKenzie, accompanied by his friend and daughter, visited a B&M location in Burnage, Manchester, where temperatures reached 30°C. Upon arrival, he found the store unbearably hot, with all chocolate bars having melted and collapsed on the shelves. Despite the presence of air conditioning, McKenzie noted that the store lacked staff on the floor, leaving customers uncomfortable. He criticized the situation as 'ridiculous' and shared a video showing him struggling with the heat and the melted chocolate. Some online commenters joked about the irony of the store's name, while others speculated about the cost of replacing the damaged stock. A B&M spokesperson confirmed they monitor conditions during extreme weather.
