Your partner might have some gross habits, but whether they're a nightmare for leaving dirty socks on the floor or for not cleaning up in the kitchen, we can guarantee it's not as bad as one celebrity's dirty habit.
We feel for Ayda Field, wife of singer Robbie Williams, who revealed her husband takes gross habits to a whole new level.
The couple, who have been married since 2010 and share four children, have had their ups and downs but Ayda revealed her husband has one gross habit that makes her feel a bit ill as she labelled it as 'revolting'.

The star explained her husband's gross behaviour whilst appearing on Loose Women on ITV as she explained: "Revoltingly, when it comes to nails, Robbie Williams does something even worse.
She explained that she'll demand: "Is that a nail in your mouth?” and he'll sheepishly admit that it is.
Now, whilst Robbie's toenail chewing habit is gross (there's no argument here, it just is), it could be that it's deeply rooted in stress and anxiety, and Robbie has previously opened up about his mental health.
Healthline suggests that: "Biting your nails can be a nervous habit, possibly an effort to find temporary relief from stress and anxiety."
Speaking in an interview to the Daily Mail, Robbie opened up about his extreme social anxiety, including agoraphobia between 2006 and 2009.
He shared: "I've got a disease that wants to kill me and it's in my head, so I have to guard against that."
He's previously explained that he was diagnosed with depression in his early twenties and at the height of his fame as he shared: "People at this point still thought that if good things are happening to you and you're successful, what is there to be upset about?
"I had to go on stage in front of thousands of people feeling like you’re on the hundredth floor, the room’s burning and you either stay in the room or burn to death or you jump out of the window to your death. It’s that uncomfortable."
The former Take That singer also revealed his ongoing battle in his Netflix series last year, and he revealed that there was no happy ending for his mental health. Whilst he believes producers wanted to be able to show a conclusion to the stars's rollercoaster mental health journey, it just wasn't that simple for the four part series.
Speaking to The Independent, the singer explained: "I think that was the narrative, and the last day was five hours of them trying to get that out of me.
"I was like, ‘That’s not how I f***ing feel!’ I know for the last four weeks, I’ve been out of the headlock and been having a really nice time, but who knows what happens."
He added: "I’m not bipolar, but there is a sort of semi-bipolaresque element to my mental health. Some days good, some days bad – but it’s better than it ever was in the 1990s and at the start of this century."
