As @Logan said, just a tiny bit of scorched and I can see that mine was actually blighted. Have a look and don't lose your beauty sleep over it.

Sleep what’s that like lol !

All the fruit is looking normal just taken a age to ripen thanks for your advise will keep an eye them fingers crossed !

That's ok. When you water don't wet the leaves, just the soil, that helps. But if you have them outside it's when it rains again that will be a problem. I lost the whole crop from it one year.

Here's the latest weather SAGA! Only the Brits can make it soooooooooooo dramatic

Heavens open over Britain! Tropical Storm Debby sweeps in torrential rain from Atlantic with thunder and lightning on way after overnight temperatures plunged to near freezing

• Scorching weather consigned to past today as heavy downpours, thunder and lightning hit some areas
• Low pressure from Tropical Storm Debby will bring the autumnal conditions to eastern England today
• Up to 1.2in (30mm) of rain expected to fall in an hour after temperatures fell to 32.9F (0.5C) in Scotland
• Britain's current record of mercury hitting at least 75F (24C) for 47 days in a row up is under threat today
  
  So we're going to have a Tropical Storm Debby?????? LOL! Near FREEZING??? I hope not. Or my tomatoes will be truly and indeed blighted!

Upsy, those are lovely plants, and great looking tomatoes. It seems you'll be enjoying home-grown, vine-ripened tomatoes in just a few days!
I'm envious, since ours have shut down in the heat. I cut them back and am keeping them watered, hoping for a fall crop.
