Don't think it is and it's never happened before but just to be on the safe side....
Drove about 15 miles earlier, parked up and waited for my mate to come out. Turned the engine off then about 15 seconds later she came so turned the key to get the engine to start, it took longer than normal to fire then when it did the starter motor didn't disengage for 2-3 secs and the revs were really low, I'm sure an orange light stayed on somewhere in the dashboard aswell. When it started the revs stayed really low and sounded like it was guna die on me, revved it up a bit and it stopped and has been fine since 
Embarrasing if nothing else!

when you turn the key it could of stuck causing the starter moter to be on longer and the low revs?

Was gonna say the say kind of thing, probably fuel evaporating a bit quicker than normal due to the high temperatures lately, as already said nothing to worry about unless it keeps on doing it.
