Brits admit avoiding intimacy because of body odour
A poll of 2,800 adults found 47 per cent often or sometimes feel embarrassed about the smell of their body parts. With 52 per cent of women more afraid of personally developing smells in areas other than their underarms, more so than men (43 per cent). Armpits (66 per cent), genitals (37 per cent) and feet (32 per cent) are the parts of the body they most commonly experience odour from. And more than one in 10 (11 per cent) give nicknames to their body parts in a bid to mask the embarrassment. (Image: Jack Hall/PinPep) Take the quiz here. The research was commissioned by Sure Whole Body Deodorant, which worked with TV personality and content creator Chris Taylor and Grime Gran aka Margie, who hit the streets to find out what the public call their regions of the body. Chris said: 'I've been in my fair share of sweaty situations – and it definitely helps to break the tension by using a nickname. 'Having chatted to Londoners, it's clear we all get embarrassed when we don't feel fresh.' Some of the sweeter nicknames people give their body parts include 'footsies' in the South for feet - (30 per cent) – compared to 'trotters' in the North (25 per cent). Across the UK, 40 per cent will call their stomach their 'tummy', while 14 per cent are happy to refer to it as their 'food baby'. But while 49 per cent use nicknames for a laugh, 30 per cent do so in a bid to feel more comfortable with their body. And 32 per cent rely on alternative names to make the conversation less awkward. Alice Duffill, for Sure Whole Body Deodorant, which uses odour adapt technology to help tackle various odour types found across the body, said: 'Our research shows Brits have a cheeky sense of humour when it comes to their own bodies. 'But these playful nicknames aren't just for fun as they also help people speak more confidently about their bodies. 'Our research found that nearly half of Brits admit to fearing B.O. as a result of sweating, so we're proud to launch a UK-first product to help Brits feel confident in their bodies.'

Fasten your seatbelts, morning flights will be very grumpy
New research reveals an astonishing 67 per cent of British passengers admit they've boarded their flight feeling irritable or unwell. That figure rises to 79 per cent among 25-34-year-olds. Many say it's because they've missed out on breakfast. With one in six (17 per cent) admitting to usually skipping the most important meal of the day before a flight, that's a lot of grumpy passengers. Missing breakfast is becoming an actual relationship issue, with over one in six say they've had a tense moment with their partner over their missed morning meals. Passengers boarding the new 4:34am Heathrow Express train - the earliest-ever service - were treated to a surprise breakfast from Quaker Oats and foodie TV personality David Templer (Image: Jack Hall / Cover Images) The study, commissioned by Heathrow Express, has also revealed rushing to catch an early flight can lead to many of us failing to keep to basic hygiene measures. One in four (28 per cent) admit they've skipped washing to make an early departure time, while one in six (16 per cent) have confessed to leaving the house without brushing their teeth. Meanwhile one in five (19 per cent) didn't even use the toilet before heading out the door. The research has been done to support the launch of Heathrow Express's new 4:34am departure from London Paddington – its earliest-ever train to Heathrow, running Monday to Saturday. Aoife Considine, Business Lead at Heathrow Express, says: 'We know early flights can turn mornings into a scramble, and that often means the important things – like breakfast – get pushed aside. "By looking closely at how and when our passengers travel, we identified a clear need for earlier services to help reach 6am departures. Our new 4:34am train is designed to make those early flights easier to catch. "With just a 15-minute journey from Central London to Heathrow, it's a smarter, more efficient way to travel – so you can arrive calm, prepared, and with time to start your day right.' The new earlier non-stop 15-minute connection between London Paddington and Heathrow Airport means you can make sure you are washed and fed before going on holiday or a business trip. With spacious seating, free Wi-Fi, and generous luggage space it's the fastest, smoothest, and most stress-free way to reach the airport. And to launch the new 4:34am service - and help passengers arrive better prepared for their flights - Heathrow Express provided them with an early breakfast treat. The airport rail link teamed up with Quaker and food-loving TV personality David Templer to offer passengers two exclusive oat-based breakfasts. Templer explains: 'I'm always looking for ways to make life more efficient – and nothing says efficient like a 15-minute train to the airport and breakfast already sorted. These oat breakfasts were designed for those early starts when you're short on time but still want something that hits the spot – both nutritious and delicious.' Provided aboard was a Tropical Oat Bowl made with chilled overnight oats, coconut milk, pineapple, mango, and passionfruit – finished with toasted coconut, chia seeds, and a squeeze of lime, and Mexican Mocha Energy Balls blended with dates, cocoa, espresso, cinnamon, cayenne, and dark chocolate.

Eight computer-generated dogs, all avatars of real dogs in need of new homes, streaked onto the field during a live-streamed football video game. The invasion was part of a heartwarming campaign from Pedigree and Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, designed to give rescues a second chance at finding their forever family. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Viewers and gamers watched the flash mob stop the game on the live-streaming esports and video platform Twitch. Billy at Battersea and as an avatar on Twitch for the 'pitch invasion' | Jack Hall/Cover Images Battersea's furry crew was led by computer-generated Billy, Larry and Teddy. All of the squad have real-life counterparts waiting for a new home. Twitch gamer Bateson87, real name Jamie Bateson, said, "I've always backed an underdog's comeback—whether it's bringing a player back into the team, supporting them to achieve epic wins in FC, or seeing a rescue dog get a second chance. The underDOGS campaign is such an amazing idea because it reminds us that comebacks are possible for anyone—or any dog—with love, time, and effort." Despite growing interest in pet ownership, new research from Pedigree has revealed that rescue dogs are still being left on the bench. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The invasion was part of a heartwarming campaign from Pedigree and Battersea Dogs & Cats Home | Jack Hall/Cover Images Thankfully Gen Z gamers aged 18 to 30 have emerged as unexpected champions, with 32% adopting a canine companion and 85% saying they'd consider it, compared to 70% of non-gaming peers. The survey debunks outdated ideas about who rescue dogs are 'right' for with gaming traits like responsibility (59%), patience (55%), commitment (53%), strategy (31%) and problem-solving (25%) — also being great dog ownership. Battersea Dogs & Cats Rehoming Manager Sofia Papaloizou, says, 'Owning a dog can be incredibly rewarding but does require a lot of commitment, training and patience – all things that are needed for gaming too. 'Rescue dogs are incredibly special and it's great to hear that so many gamers are already enjoying the wonderful companionship of a rescue pet. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'We hope that this campaign will not only help find a home for the dogs involved but also showcase how unique every rescue dog is and inspire more people to consider adoption when looking to get a pet in the future.' Despite growing enthusiasm for pet ownership, less than half (48%) of Gen Z have adopted a dog with misconceptions about breeds and ages available still prevalent. Pedigree and Battersea hope to challenge this by proving that rescue dogs can be just as loyal, loving and life-changing as any pedigree pup. Pedigree's -Brand Director, Ed Owen, added: 'Everyone loves a comeback story. And we love telling the stories of these 15 dogs looking for a new home. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'At Pedigree, championing rescue dogs is part of our purpose and our DNA, we've broken new ground with this campaign by creating canine avatars to reach new potential pet parents. 'Whilst this campaign has a fun side, there is a serious purpose behind it all – we want as many rescue dogs to be rehomed as possible to the right home and to challenge the misconceptions young people have of the sorts of dogs in rescue centres like Battersea.'
