Help, gas boiler problem!

Hi, can anyone help?

I have a worcester 28cdi gas combi boiler, and it won't switch off. My house is boiling hot, the water is scalding, it's almost midnight so no call centres are open.

I have no idea if it's safe to go to bed or if it's dangerous and needs something doing straight away and if so, I have no idea who to call.

Am in a new home, but boiler is old and has no paperwork left with it, so don't know what to do :(

    There should be an electric switch (usually near the boiler) which will isolate the boiler electrics completely.

    Without electricity the boiler will stop.

    Failing that, turn the main gas tap off.
