I’ve been keeping this cherry tomato plant in a covered metal shelf unit propagator but this is how it looks any ideas where I’ve gone wrong here?

It looks sun or heat damaged. Was it exposed to high heat in the metal propagator? Was it exposed to sun too quickly? Was it close to a grow light?

Ah okay well my covered propagator which is situated inside my conservatory so that would make sense 😅
