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.

If you think nothing of splitting a bottle of wine with your partner on a Friday night, then that could bode well for your relationship.

A new study has revealed that couples who drink together are much happier in the long term than couples where only one person drank.

According to the study, titled Drinking Patterns Among Older Couples, the couples who didn't see eye to eye when it comes to drinking had the most arguments and unhappiness in their relationships.

The imbalance is what seems to cause most of the problems, as couples in which both people drank equally, there were less issues. Interestingly, the study found that in couples where the woman was the one who drank while the husband stayed sober, more issues arose. 

"Wives who reported drinking alcohol reported increased negative marital quality over time when husbands reported not drinking," the study said.

Now, that's not to say that a teetotaler can't have a strong relationship with someone who enjoys a drink, but according to the study, finding someone who has the same alcohol habits as you can make life a bit easier and your relationship a bit longer.

Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes have snapped back at haters making fun of the way they kiss, deciding to lock lips in an Instagram video that gets…sloppy.

Shawn explains:

"So we saw on Twitter and stuff, you guys saying about the way we were kissing and how it looks weird. Like we kiss like fish,” Mendes tells the camera in a clip posted to Instagram.

Camila adds that it ‘really hurt our feelings’. Shawn added; "We just want to show you how we really kiss." The couple then go in for the kill, and we died a slow death from that point onwards.

They basically mash their faces together, with Shawn even putting his hand on the back of the singer's neck at one point, but the laughter gets the better of them and they pull apart.

If they wanted to break the internet they’ve succeeded, as the clip has fetched over three million views in two hours. Their sales from Señorita must be sky-high at this stage.

Celebrities (Niall Horan) had plenty to say in the comments section, but Twitter users couldn't keep their horror to themselves;

"I just saw Camilla cabello and Shawn Mendes kiss in the most horrific, tragic, and disgusting way". We reckon 'tragic' is too harsh a word to use, but we admit to being frightened by the sloppiness.

There were, of course, numerous tweets about eyeballs needing cleansing;

"Why is this on my timeline again, I don't deserve such treatment," another internet user wrote- referencing Arthur memes for good measure;

The classic confused girl GIF popped up as well, not to be missed;

We wonder how fish feel about being compared to two of the most currently successful artists in the game? Nemo is probably chuffed.

At the same time, why is there so much hate about their style of kissing? They're two happy youngsters in the prime of their lives falling in love, yet people are disgusted by their smooches;

Maybe we're all just jealous that Shawn Mendes is now a taken man, or that Camila Mendes is a taken woman. 

#Shawmila fans have been speculating about their relationship since the release of their collaborative tune, and they have been pictured shifting the face off each other on numerous occasions.

They also put on a steamy performance at the VMAs this year, but 22-year-old Camila recently said she refuses to talk about their relationship because she wants to ‘protect’ it.

"I never want to open the door for people to feel like they are involved. I want it to be mine and his. That’s why I’m so tight-lipped about it: because I want to protect it," she said.

The Havana singer told ELLE:

"Love is the most sacred, precious thing to me. I want to always feel like my love is between me and that person, and never belonging to anyone else. As much as I love my fans, and as much as I love people, I like to live my life as normally as possible," she said.

"In a relationship, it makes me feel uncomfortable to invite everyone in on that.'

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."

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.

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.

It went viral on social media after the public believed he had gone behind Belle's back, but Anton made sure to set the record straight.

A representative for Anton told Mirror Online:

"There is a video circulating regarding our client Anton Danyluk. It was filmed when he was 18 of him kissing a girl in a nightclub.

"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.

Forget your morning cup of coffee.

Put the phone down and cut the pointless scrolling.

Wanna have a productive day?

Then a quickie is the only way…according to a new study, that is. 

The study surveyed nearly 1,000 people living with their other half about all things AM passion.

And the results were quite startling, tbh.

Ok so when it comes to getting down and dirty when you wake up, 63% of women said nope, it's not their cup of tea and they had NEVER done it.

Lads, are you serious?!

One in five did admit though that they would like to make it a regular part of their routine – and we agree!

They also discovered that more than 45% of women and 53% of men say morning sex makes them more productive.

Having sex = your boss not shouting at you because you are actually doing good work.

Sounds like a win-win to us. 

It also looked like women were willing to give up their beauty sleep to get frisky – a whole 30 minutes!

For men, it was unsurprisingly 45 minutes of kip that they would sacrifice for a morning romp.

And overall, it isn't surprising that those surveyed who had morning sex at least once a week, were more satisfied in their relationships…so what are you waiting for?

Happy humping!

Dress it up whatever way you like, but giving head takes skill. Effort. Time.

It's not something that you can do half-arsed and it deffo ain't something you can do in matter of minutes.

Or so we thought. 

When it comes to  how long one spends going down on their guy, opinions differ. 

According to this study, which surveyed 1,000 women and men, us ladies belive that blowjobs should last longer than men do.

Yep, you read that right – looks like we're just too generous. 

Hey, as long as it's reciprocated. 

Breaking it down, American women round it up to 11 minutes whereas Europeans gave the grand total as 9 minutes, 14 seconds.

Precise, ladies.

So lets delve deeper into the world of oral sex for guys – what are their thoughts on swallowing?

Image result for making out gif

More than half of men don’t care if their partner swallows after oral sex and still report extremely satisfied with the blowjobs they’ve received.

Hardly shocking tbh. 

It also seems that most lads don't even have to ask for it, with 60% of European and American women initiating blowjobs. 

Perhaps unsurprisingly, when it comes to getting head or having sex, a lot of fellas would opt for the latter – 30% to be precise.

So what you can take away from this, is that next time you're getting intimate with your guy, just follow the rhythm rather than watching the minutes tick by on the clock.

Fleur East is glowing in her official wedding snaps.

The former X Factor star looked beautiful in a dress by J’Aton Couture as she wed her partner Marcel Badiane-Robin.

We are genuinely in love with it also, how cool does the groom look?

She took to Instagram to post the snap of her and her new husband looking radiant with joy.

She captioned it, ”Back from Morocco and over the moon to announce that I am officially a Mrs! I married my best friend of 9 years and in our 10th year we became Husband and Wife.”

She continued, ”It was hand on heart the happiest and most special day of my life! Shared with all of our favourite people and it couldn’t have been more perfect. I’ve never cried and smiled so much in equal measure.”

The pair opened up to Hello! magazine about their special day.

Fleur said, ”It was the best day of my life, filled with so much love. A dream.”

She continued, ”I’m just excited to call Marcel my husband. Our wedding was perfect. The weather was amazing, the skies were so clear, every single guest was invested in the day and all got on with each other. The love in the congregation was overwhelming. I’ll never forget the feeling. I took in every single second of it.”

Marcel said, ”When I saw Fleur in her dress I felt like the luckiest man in the universe, not just the world. When I saw her walking down the aisle, the emotions took over and for the first time ever it felt real. That was the moment I realised Fleur, my best friend, was going to be my wife. She looked so beautiful, I just want to do it all over again.”

Fleur had a second dress for the reception – a white bridal jumpsuit by Raine and Bea – and also performed a song.

Huge congratulations to the happy couple on this exciting chapter of their lives.

I was seventeen the first time I fell in love. 

It was with one of my childhood friends and we had what I now know was chemistry (at the time he was just constantly getting under my skin).

But when we started going out, everything clicked into place.

We fell into an all-consuming type of love, the only type you can have when you're 17.

It was the messaging under the covers at night/hungry kisses in my hall on a school night/naive and hormone-fuelled kinda thing.

Being a teenager in general, your world is small and that means that everything is heightened.

This person is suddenly your whole life and because it's the first time you're having these feelings…it's intense. 

Things like jealousy rear their ugly head for the first time and this can cause dizzying heights and crashing lows.

When the inevitable heartbreak came, we were nineteen.

My whole world blurred and temporarily nothing seemed to make sense.

Being with your first love is a magical time and one that many of us just can't seem to let go of – but why?

Image result for the notebook gifs

Why do we have this bond?

So, this is the science bit.

When two people first meet, their bodies release a stress hormone called norepinephrine.

This is what makes you have the butterflies in your stomach, heart pounding away in your chest, the whole works. 

Researchers at Arizona State University College also found this cool thing – the hormone makes events burn into your memory.

You know the way you can remember specific kisses or conversations you had but what happened the day before is a blur?

They discovered a link that causes these strong emotions to form a specific sensory experience. 

In other words, when you get around that person again, their presence causes those old memories and initial feelings to come flooding back.

It's not that you don't forget about them; when you see them again, those old feelings of first love can return.

So it looks like first love is the deepest – in a literal sense as it's carved out what you think love should look like.

We never learn as much from a relationship as we do from our first serious one and because of that, they will never fully leave us. 

In the words of writer Daphne du Maurier, ''I am glad it cannot happen twice, the fever of first love. For it is a fever, and a burden, too, whatever the poets may say."

The merry-go-round of reality tv couples continues.

The latest pair to hook up is Zara McDermott and Sam Thompson, of Love Island and Made in Chelsea fame. 

They have been doing the 2019 version of flirting – commenting on each other's Instagram pictures.

But then they were pictured holding hands in London and now their reps have confirmed that they are in fact, dating. 

 The pair furled speculation they were dating after they pictured together in a social media post on May 26

While Sam might be a bit of an eejit, he's a harmless one and we're delighted for Zara after being messed around by Adam Collard. 

It seems things are going from strength to strength for the couple as Zara commented ''“I [love] U'' under a shirtless snap of Sam. 

The MIC star was previously in a long-term relationship with co-star Tiffany Watson and he has since said it ended because he was ''immature.''

She continued, ''Aside from having the biggest heart out of anyone I know, his passion and tenacity are part of the reason I fell in love with him. watching him throw his entire heart and soul into this story of love taught me a lot about the kind of person he is.''

The 24-year-old added, ''I’m probably sharing too much, but before we started dating he’d often get mad at me for trying to bring logic into love. He taught me that love doesn’t have an explanation, it either exists or it doesn’t. It was his vulnerability not only as an actor but also as a man, that taught me that valuable message, one that is so relevant to this film. I’m so proud of you Charles and so grateful to have witnessed this beautiful journey of yours.''

Charles replied, ''I love you.''

Camila spoke to Teen Vogue for the May cover interview about how she's trying to keep things like her relationship more a bit more shielded. 

She said, ''I'm not a private person. I don't like hiding. But the more I get used to this lifestyle the more I reevaluate what I want to share and what I don't.''

It must be true love then if she's shouting it from the rooftops like this – and we couldn't be happier for the stunning pair.

According to The Sun, ''Sammy has the gift of the gab – he does well at work and makes good money. The only reason he’s reconnected with Dani is that she has a lot going for her at the moment – she has money, a clothing range and endorsement deals, he will feel like he’s hit the jackpot.''

Hmmm, we're not sure we like the sound of him but sure look, she looks happy so who are to judge?
