Upstairs radiators hot even though heating is not on

Had new boiler from British Gas a few months ago with Hive.
We've not got a combi but a water tank upstairs. So you need to schedule water and heating. Obviously, in this weather heating is off. (but we still need hot water)
Noticed last night that upstairs radiator only were hot. I turned half of them off last night (using rad thermostat) and lo and behold the ones this morning not turned off were hot.
Crazy. Because even if for some reason the heating is on, there is no way its cool enough for the heating to turn on.
How on earth does this even happen for just upstairs? I am wondering if its something to do with the water heating and something is wrong here.
