Here's the reason why you like to gossip, and why it's OK

Gossiping may not be a bad thing to do at all, says a new study.

New research has unveiled some of the reasons why men and women gossip and suggests that the activity is actually good for us.

Adam Davis of the University of Ottawa in Canada, who carried out the research, suggests that gossiping is actually a highly evolved social skill, rather than a character flaw.
