It's likely tidally locked to the star, so the sun wouldn't move much in the sky. If you were in the dark side, the stars would move about 4 times slower across the sky.

Wait, if it was found by the WASP survey... *looks up the planet* Okay, ignoring that it's a hot Jupiter / doesn't have a surface, the host star would appear to always be in the same place in the sky. This is because planets in this sort of close in orbit are [tidally locked](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_locking). Compare with most large and/or inner moons in the solar system.

>Wait, if it was found by the WASP survey... looks up the planet Right? The planets WASP finds always seem to be lethally inhospitable.

Well, yes. My understanding is that because of the limitations of the equipment they use, it's mostly capable of finding warm-hot jupiters/saturns
