I have a healthy cucumber plant with 3 cucumbers all about 9 inches long, until yesterday there were also lots of smaller ones all between 1 inch and 3 inches long. Today everyone of the little ones have gone yellow. I have watered on a daily basis, sometimes twice if the day has been hot. Can anyone please tell me what the cause og this might be

They do this. Hold your horses, I guarantee you'll get loads of cues later, especially if this iffy weather warms up.

I normally pinch out every other one - you did not say if it is an all female plant ? as you will need to pinch out the male growth otherwise your cucumbers will be sour

I can honestly say, I have no idea which cucumbers I have grown but I've never had a bitter one, ever and I've never pinched anything out. On average I must have had about 40 - 50 per plant (in the greenhouse).

Thank you very much for your advice, I will wait and hope.
The plants are 2 to a pot, and the pots are bucket size. They are called Femspot, so I think that means they are all female. Thanks again.
