Hi, welcome.
Roughly where in the country are you?
Do you have any experience with spanners?
Does the heater in your car work?

Id say thermostat needs changing, sounds like its not opening, I'd also test the radiator fan with a 12v feed just to male sure it works. But my money is on the thermostat

Someone said it could be fuse to heater relay but I've checked and they all seem to be I place gonna replace the fan myself and see if that does anything

Good idea to check the radiator fan first and it's specific relay and it's fuse.

Before buying a new fan try yours on a battery first.
