We might inherit certain things form our parents, like blue eyes or our height, but what about our ability to cheat? It might sound extreme but is there anything in it?

Bloom&Wild asked a few questions about genetics to Dr. Daniel Kelberman, from Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health. When it comes to pulling the wool over your other halves eyes, is it something learned from our Mum and Dad?

Dr Kelberman believes not.

He said, ''No – such behaviours are acquired and nothing to do with genetics.'' He continued, ''[Speaking generally about behaviour-related genetics], there are lots of studies on the genes involved in inheritance, most of which are contentious. There are potentially thousands of genes involved, and our estimates at present only account for a very small amount of what is inherited.”

This therefore means cheating is something you may act out with on your own and not inherited from your parents. Other genetic questions asked including one about obesity and height.

So is obesity inherited?

Dr Kelbermman said, ''There are many genes that have been implicated in increased BMI, but few rarely proven and the biological basis is unknown. Genetics is suggested to play a role, but quite a small one.''

He added, ''There are rare forms of childhood onset obesity that are caused by mutation of a single gene, but these would be considered more of a rare disease than the phenomenon of increasing rates of obesity in the population.''

So if you feel the need to cheat, don't go blaming genetics.

Dating in your twenties is a dangerous game. Whether you're looking for a passionate fling, or something a little more serious, chances are you're going to get hurt pretty bad at some point.

Well, a new study has revealed why twenty-somethings struggle when it comes to staying faithful to their partners, and the answer is so cliché it almost hurts – we're just trying to find ourselves.

Yep. Turns out we're as predictable as the plot twist in a Hugh Grant film, and we hate being tied down at that pivotal point in our lives.

The study, published in the Journal of Sex Research, surveyed 104 adults with an average age of 22, who all admitted to cheating in the last six months.

To make them feel a little better about themselves and encourage total honesty throughout the survey, participants were given a paragraph to read about how common cheating is.

They were then questioned about their current and past relationships, had their attachment to their current partners analysed and were asked to explain the ins and outs of how they cheated.

Interestingly, most participants did not try to make excuses for being unfaithful, but rather explained that they did it for reasons related to independence and interdependence.

Most felt as though their relationship was holding them back from new experiences and stopped them from reaching their full potential as an adult.

When it came to issues related to interdependence, many participants said their current partner was not fulfilling their need for intimacy, they felt lonely, or they didn't have enough in common.

The study's authors said: "Because emerging adulthood is thought to be a time of exploration and experimentation, it is possible that engaging in infidelity is a path through which individuals seek to meet their developmental needs for independence and interdependence and promote their individual development." 

Basically young people cheat because they have no idea who they are or what they want, apparently.

Others reasons cited by participants included boredom and excitement as well as being under the influence of alcohol – *eye-roll*

So, go out and find yourself, but just try not to hurt anyone during the process.

Jacqueline Jossa has opened up about up about Dan Osborne’s alleged cheating in an interview with ITV’s Lorraine.

The actress, who was recently crowned Queen of the Jungle on I’m a Celeb, has kept a relatively low profile since the show ended last week.

The former EastEnders star wanted to spend time with her daughters and husband Dan, who has been hit with waves of cheating allegations since his wife entered the jungle.

However, Jacqueline stressed that the current rumours didn’t surprise her.

“The thing is, it's really funny because we've been going through it for like two years. This isn't new for me."

"It's all stuff I knew about, it isn't new news, to me,” she said about her private conversation with fellow campmate Myles Stephenson.

"It just got brought up again because Myles was with [Gabby Allen] you know it just got recuperated and stuff and at the same time I was really glad because it made me think of stuff while I was in there,” she stressed.

"I had no choice, I was in there for three and a half weeks, no phone, no contact with anyone…nothing but time, you got to think constantly and it just helped me a lot to be in there.

"To be honest, I want to hit a restart button. It's been two years of basically me giving him hell and it's not like he's got away lightly at all,” she shared.

Dan has denied all cheating allegations.

Gabby Allen has been labelled ‘disgusting and selfish’ after she leaked ex-boyfriend Myles Stephenson’s sexts.

The reality star shared her former partner’s private messages to prove that he cheated on her, but many stressed that it was unfair of her to do so when he cannot respond as he is currently on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.

Gabby stressed that the only reason she leaked the messages was to clear her name and to defend herself, however, a source close to Myles said it has caused even more drama and distress.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Myles Stephenson (@mylesraksu) on

The Love Island star posted numerous screenshots of texts between Myles and other women. He sent the messages when he was still in a relationship with Gabby.

The 25-year-old also posted a screenshot of an apology from Myles.

A source close to Myles told OK! Magazine, “We all think it’s really out of order for Gabby to do this to Myles when she knows he can't defend himself or reply to the comments.

"Yes he did cheat on her and none of us will defend that, but to share the messages he sent with the world is disgusting and selfish,” they added.

"Myles' mum and family have to now hear all about these sordid details and all because Gabby wants to feel like she's standing up for herself."

They added, “Gabby hasn't thought about how it makes his mum feel having to walk around her community and know that everyone knows these things about how her son behaved. It should have been kept private."

Was Gabby wrong to share the sexts or does she have a right to expose Myles?

The source added, “The video may look a way, but literally it was nothing. It was some friends, members of the team, crew and people like that. They all know each other and were hanging.

Love Island couples are having a bumpy ride over the last few days, between Anton Danyluk and Belle Hassan's break-up and Greg O'Shea ruthlessly dumping Amber Gill by text (rude). 

Their relationships only lasted five weeks, despite Amber and Greg beating Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury to win the ITV2 show.

28-year-old India has been accused of cheating on her 28-year-old basketballer beau with footballer Kieran Gibbs after allegations of them kissing at his birthday party emerged.

According to MailOnline, model India “grabbed and kissed” Kieran at the party, with a source claiming that she was overheard saying: “If Kieran made it official with me, I would dump Ovie.”

India has denied the claims with a representative for the third place contestant adding that the allegations are “absolutely not true. They've been friends for years”.

“She attended his birthday party with her family. She's in love with Ovie and would never hurt him. She's shocked and hurt at the claims,” a source told the publication

India and Ovie came third in this year’s Love Island, and seem to be going strong. The pair have posted their fair share of loved up snaps since the show's final six weeks ago.

Ovie sang India's praises during a recent appearance on This Morning; “I can’t say love. I think love is a thing that takes time to develop."

“But you know, we’re in a good place and we’re just going to put one foot in front of the other," he added.

"We’ve spent quite a lot of time together since leaving the show. She’s back in Reading at the moment handling some stuff, but we’ve been enjoying it, taking it in our stride.”

Time will tell whether Ovie will address the cheating rumours, but he's a chill man. We reckon he'll ignore the hype and focus on treating his lady like the gent he is.

Anton Danyluk and Belle Hassan have reportedly split just five weeks after leaving the Love Island villa, and now he's denying ever having been in a relationship with her. Oh dear…

The reality stars have parted ways after trying to make their romance work in real life, and failing. Pals have claimed that Belle was getting fed up with Anton's lack of attention towards her.

Belle has also seen photos of the Scottish gym owner cuddling up to bikini-clad models at parties in Ibiza.

"Belle has seen all the pictures and videos of Anton in Ibiza and now just wants out," a pal told the Sun. "She feels he's disrespecting their relationship and can't see him changing his ways."

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Belle Hassan (@bellehassan) on

They added that singer Craig David may have come between them, which is frankly GAS;

"His obsession with Craig David also made her feel awkward. He seemed to be more excited about reuniting with Craig than speaking to her."

Anton was forced to deny cheating on Belle last month after a video emerged of him kissing a brunette in a club, but the footage was filmed six years ago.

Anton had tried it on with Molly-Mae Hague, Anna Vakili and Lucie Donlan in the first couple of weeks of the show before getting with Belle.

Anton messed up numerous times after giving his number to a cashier, and later admitting that Anna was the best kisser in the villa.

Belle and Anton ended up in fifth place, narrowly missing out on making it to the final thanks to Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague voting them out.

Anton revealed last month that he and Belle still hadn't had sex, insisting that they wanted to "take things slowly".

"We haven't done bits. When we've seen each other we've been tired and gone straight to bed," he told new! magazine."We're taking it slow, it's very PG."

He added: "Everyone's saying this 'making it official' as if we've been in a relationship for so long.

"I'm very much a realist. We've still got a bit of dating to do on the outside before we know if it's going to work. But we're both on the same page, which is important."

Anton also said that he has no intentions of leaving Scotland to be with Belle in London. "I won't be moving away, but with all the things that are going on I'm going to be up and down the country anyway."

The Scot is now denying ever having been in a serious relationship with Belle, which definitely won't go down well.

Gabby Allen hasn't had it easy over the last month, confirming that she has broken up with her boyfriend Myles Stephenson after she caught him sending flirty DMs to other women.

The 26-year-old was spotted crying while walking down the street yesterday afternoon after receiving a huge bunch of apology red roses from the 27-year-old Rak-Su singer.

The former Love Island star gave the flowers to a shopkeeper rather than keep them, determined not to take Myles back after his treatment of her.

Dressed casually in a khaki crop top and denim shorts that she'd left unbuttoned, the blonde beauty looked downcast as she walked down the street with her friend in North London.

Photos have appeared in The Sun and The Mirror of her tears, but it's an invasion of privacy to show them. Would paparazzi maybe leave a crying woman alone?!

A source told The Sun : "Myles sent Gabby a big bunch of roses but she wasn't impressed. It was too little too late so she decided to get rid of them.

"She left them outside a corner shop for someone else to take – she doesn't want any reminder of him around."

Gabby confirmed the break-up over the weekend, saying that the rumours that she'd caught him sexting other women were true. 

She said in a statement on Instagram : "The news paper articles are true. I am no longer in a relationship. I hope you have all had a better week than me.

"If anyone else has anything they need to tell me, please do x."  Gabby and Myles started dating last September and were inseparable at first, moving in together within months.

Friends say that Gabby had begun to grow suspicious of Myles' behaviour in recent months after he'd moved into her North London flat.

The singer, who won X Factor in 2016, is reported to have moved back in with his mum to give Gabby space. What a gent. 

Gabby's Love Island ex-flame Marcel Somerville also cheated on her after they came out of the villa, so her luck with men is pretty woeful. These f*ckboys, we need a purge to get rid of them.

Love Island 2017 star Gabby Allen has confirmed that she is no longer in a relationship with Raksu singer Myles Stephenson after she found him "messaging another girl" on Instagram.

The couple had been dating since September of last year, with Myles moving in with Gabby in November of 2018 according to The Sun.

After 11 months of dating, Gabby called time on their romance after their relationship break ended following Myles' infidelity. 

The pair had been on a break but the situation came to a head this week after she found some shocking messages to other women on his phone.

"Gabby ­suspected Myles had been messaging a girl a while ago, but he told her that one of his mates had used his Instagram account," the insider claims.

"Then when they were meant to be having space apart, Gabby caught him red-handed. She immediately ended the relationship," they added.

"She is shocked that it happened, especially after everything she went through with Marcel. She has made her decision and doesn't want to be with someone she can't trust."

Gabby has since confirmed that the rumours are true to her 1.1 million Instagram followers

"The newspaper articles are true. I am no longer in a relationship. I hope you've all had a better week than me! If anyone else has anything they need to tell me, please do. x"

Myles has yet to comment on the scandal, both the Love Islander and Raksu singer have deleted all traces of each other on their Instagram accounts.

Gabby previously talked about marriage to The Sun with Myles  "He’s amazing. He basically came to my house and never left. We can hear wedding bells. We talk about long-term stuff all the time."

News hit the public yesterday that UK rapper Stormzy and TV presenter Maya Jama had split up after four years together, but now another controversy is spreading.

Stormzy, who's real name is Michael Ebenazer Kwadjo Omari Owuo Jr, has denied rumours that the couple broke up as a result of his infidelity with singer Jorja Smith.

Stormzy's representative, who also manages Smith, told Metro.co.uk: "Yes, I can confirm the relationship has ended and Maya has separated from Stormzy."

A source close to Maya told The Sun that the 25-year-old had split from the 26-year-old rapper because she wanted to focus on her career.

“Maya has moved out of their home in South West London. The decision isn’t one she has come to lightly, but ultimately the relationship has come to an end."

“But I didn’t want anything yet, because, you know, you’re trying to do the whole friend situation first, and then I’d do, like, obvious hints that I fancied him and then take it back because I didn’t know if he definitely liked me," she continued.

"It was a childish phase. And then one day we just kissed, and that was that.”

The pair temporarily unfollowed each other on social media last year, fuelling rumours of a split.

Love Island star Anton Danyluk has denied cheating on Belle Hassan after a video of him kissing another girl leaked online.

The Scottish gym owner is seen with a mystery brunette girl in a nightclub in the clip, but the 24-year-old insists that he was 18 when the lip locking occurred.

"The person trying to sell the video is alleging he cheated on Belle which is categorically not true – the video was six years ago."

The video surfaced only days after Belle and Anton went to Majorca together on their first solo holiday.

We're sure Anton was pretty terrified when the video came to light after finding out that Belle's dad is gangster actor Tamer Hassan…

The star joked that he would parachute into the villa if Anton ever hurt his beloved daughter, and we believe him.

Anton hadn't had any luck with the ladies until Belle arrived, and he hit it off with her dad immediately. Anton's mum is also a fan of Belle, offering her a razor to shave his bum as a special gift. How…quaint.

Queen of the Love Island villa Amber Gill has reacted to Michael Griffiths crawling back to Joanna Chimonides after he was dumped from the house.

She believes that she deserved to win with Greg O'Shea because of the horrendous journey Michael sent her on, after the firefighter's head was turned while she was at Casa Amor.

Michael and Amber coupled up early on but were torn apart after he broke her heart by cheating with Joanna Chimonides.

Michael and Joanna have been spotted together on the outside kissing at a festival, despite having a fight when Michael didn't walk away from the villa with her when she was dumped.

In the explosive row, Joanna branded Michael a 'snake' and said 'if you've found what you want then you'd better f*cking leave, mate." Yikes. Despite this, they seem to be back together.

Amber has since branded their reconciliation 'weird.', saying; "Am I surprised by that? To be fair I didn’t see much of their relationship. I don’t really know how they were."

The Geordie lass added; "Michael definitely tried to come back to me so I think it’s a bit weird. I don’t really want to say too much," said Amber.

The 21-year-old said she doesn't believe she would have won the public vote in Monday's live final if she had gone back to Michael.

"If I'd gone for Michael it would have been she’s gone back to the guy who didn’t treat her well," explained Amber. "Me and Greg were a good match and he came in when I needed a gent and I feel like that's why it went for us," she added.

"I don’t think Michael will be kicking himself. I think he was happy for me either way. I think everything happens for a reason. We’ll have to see what his reason is," she told the Mirror.

Joanna and Michael set the rumour mill alight when they were spotted looking cosy at a Kisstory even in London on Saturday.

Joanna had vowed that she'd never go back there, but this appears to have been straight up nonsense…She's since denied any romance between them.

She hit out on social media: "I just want to make a point, we weren't kissing. He was saying something in my ear and I found it funny. I can't remember what it was," she told her followers.

"Is her ear located in her mouth?" tweeted one online user. Michael's reaction to Greg and Amber's win was to say; "Oh s***, oh s***, I did not expect that," he said. "Ratings."

He also implied that Amber would have stolen the 50,000 pounds rather than split it, which is another loads of bullsh*t from a bitter man.
