But hang on, it says so in The Telegraph too…it’s even better in the Telegraph – they say “that scientists have found men suffer from flu more because they “invest in their spirit of adventure at the expense of their immune system”.

That’s me all over!

What is going on is that some boffins at Cambridge University set up a mathematical model that looked at the probability of ‘Man Flu’ existing and they say that “if males are more exposed to infection than females, perhaps through riskier behaviours, it is possible that they evolve less effective immune systems”. They say that this result is at “odds with intuitive expectations”.

So, mathematically, there is a chance that man flu exists, but it’s not yet scientifically proven.

Well, as my fans will know, I like maths. I think this research is bang on!
