I have a ladder radiator in bathroom which won't turn off! Heating is off at boiler, I have turned room thermostat to zero, TRV is on 0, I've even turned dial on boiler to Summer setting i.e. hot water only. Boiler is a Worcester combi 24i. any ideas?

I think your trv has gone and is jammed open. (The gel has gone in the head).
Close the lock shield and leave it for a while to see if it’s cooled down.
Make sure its not duel fuel.
what is lock shield

The radiator may be connected to the hot water circuit, this was pretty common a few years ago and is still requested now to keep a warm bathroom and towels during summer months when main heating isn't being used
