What it means when your nose itches: Dua Lipa explains what to do when you need to scratch

Reading advice from Dua Lipa on what to do when your nose itches was probably not on your bingo card for today, yet here we are.

The “New Rules” for an itchy nose

Appearing on UK television program The Graham Norton Show, the pop superstar revealed the “New Rules” you now need to follow whenever you feel the urge to scratch your nose. They might not “Blow Your Mind,” but the English-Albanian singer certainly adds an unusual twist to an act that doesn’t require much thought for most of us.

The 30-year-old revealed an itchy nose isn’t just an itchy nose in her family but instead has a hidden meaning.

“If your nose itches, it means you’re going to get angry about something,” Dua Lipa explained, before inadvertently giving away that she doesn’t really understand the difference between itching and scratching.

Dua Lipa’s curious anger management technique

“In order to combat being angry, you have to itch your nose, and then touch your bum.”

If, for whatever reason, you are thinking of deploying this questionable anger-management technique, it’s important to note there is no need to then “smell your bum,” as fellow guest Cate Blanchett asked, somewhat confused by the whole situation.

Also appearing on the show was Kate Winslet, whose “Radical Optimism” was clear for all to see. “This is brilliant!” the actress exclaimed. “I think we should all do it.”

Limits of the superstition

The superstition doesn’t, however, extend to other people, which Winslet queried.

“No, you don’t touch other people’s bums,” Dua Lipa responded. “Unless of course, they want you to. In which case, go for it!”

So there you have it. Dua Lipa’s magic “Potion” to make anger disappear.
