I have a radiator which is now on most of the day and I have noticed

but what is the correct solution to this?

Obviously I have not seen your wall but I will bet the wallpaper was only
down partly behind the radiator(s) and not down to the skirtings. This is a
common problem if wallpapering is done the 'lazy' way. The solution is to
paper the whole area behind the radiator by either removing the radiator or
if the gap is wide enough using a radiator roller to smooth the paper behind
them when papering.
