A piano-playing cat has stolen our hearts and we don’t ever want them back. 

You can now compete in a popup bake off competition in London

Sarper Duman is a pianist and cat-dad from Turkey who shares the most adorably impressive videos of himself playing the piano accompanied by one of his cats, who has been rightfully named Pianist Cat.

Every time Sarper sits to show off his musical kills, Pianist Cat joins him. Not to upstage him (though it’s hard not to be upstaged by a musical cat), but to support him and play back-up for his loving owner.

A beer company is claiming to have created a new Pilsner which can boost your sex drive.

Watercress Warrior has been created from the seeds of ‘superfoods’…like watercress.

Hang on, is Freddo hot chocolate just Cadbury hot chocolate with a frog on the tub?

The leafy ingredient is rich in vitamins A, B, C and E, as well as apparently being renowned as an aphrodisiac.

A union between Dorset based beer makers Cerne Abbas Brewery and The Watercress Company, Watercress Warrior’s sexual powers are no doubt increased by the famous Cerne Giant, which will feature as it’s label logo.

Dating? It’s all different now. Or is it?

When it comes to fried chicken, KFC has a pretty distinctive flavour.

You will probably have picked up on the white pepper and the paprika and maybe a hint of the baseline herbs.

Can we all stop pretending barbecues are a great idea? Because they’re awful

And if you’ve grown up with the stuff, it’s probably as familiar as say, the taste of milk.

But, like all things, KFC is going through changes.

The fried chicken chain is adapting its original chicken on the bone to a southern US-style called Nashville Hot.

International Museum Day aims to raise awareness of how vital museums are for celebrating, restoring and preserving pieces of history.

Nestled to the south of the London Borough of Lewisham, Forest Hill has been somewhat of a hidden gem for years.

Going through a wardrobe full of old clothes can go two ways.

One: You end up finding a bunch of absolute gems that you can’t believe you haven’t paid attention to for years.

Today in things we didn’t need to know, but are now very glad to have learned, did you know that eyebrow wigs are a thing that exist?

Sponsored14 commandments for everyone who’s ever used a dating app

Yeah, we didn’t either.

We always assumed that eyebrows, if not natural, were masterfully sketched on with pencils or creams.

But it turns out that some of the eyebrows we’re seeing out in the wild may actually be tiny wigs, perched atop people’s eyes and indistinguishable for the real deal.

We’ll never look at someone furrowing their brows the same way.

Hey, we’ve all been there.

You’re strolling around in your jeans, looking all cool, when suddenly, you feel the insatiable need.

Sponsored14 commandments for everyone who’s ever used a dating app

The need to wear short shorts.

You don’t have time to rush back to your home (you’re on your way to an important meeting or date, naturally, when the short shorts craving strikes). You can’t stop in a shop and buy a pair.

So onwards you must plod, with legs fully imprisoned in denim. The horror. Oh, the tragedy.

Thankfully, someone’s come up with a solution.

Whether you’re getting any or not, sex plays a huge part in our lives.

And as women, our sex lives are often fluctuating.

Sometimes our libido is rampant, sometimes it’s dead. Sometimes we have a lot of good sex with a selfless partner who knows exactly what they’re doing, and sometimes…we don’t.

Unfortunately, a lot of women fall into the second category.

We know, we know. We really should be getting more sleep.

Sleeping enough is essential for good physical and mental health, it makes us better at making decisions, and it’ll mean we won’t yawn every two minutes on an endless loop.

We all think we will magically turn into a ‘proper grown up at some point, don’t we?

Yesterday saw the beginning of the 70th Cannes Film Festival, the hottest ticket in the South of France.

The festival lasts for 11 days, which means that there’s plenty opportunity for red carpet glamour.

Who’s watching the film premieres is just as important as which film they’re watching.

And the comforting thing about Cannes is that it’s more old school elegance than bombastic Met Gala-esque fashion.

So if you want to see some good old film star glamour, look no further.

To be entirely honest, having someone do our makeup for us while we sleep sounds like an absolute dream.

But for some reason, Natalie Weaver, 23, decided to use her excellent makeup skills for an act of revenge, instead.

Natalie had been looking forward to going out for a drink with her partner, Stephen Hall, on a Sunday.

Stephen rudely bailed, arriving home at 6am after a night out with his friends and thus being much too tired to spend time with his girlfriend.
