This is the cheating capital of the UK – see if your town is on the list

IF we had to guess the cheating capital of the UK, we'd have assumed it was London.

After all, it boasts the biggest population - not to mention the bustling nightlife scene.

But it turns out, the country's adultery hotspot is somewhere much more unsuspecting.

Every year, Illicit Encounters - the UK's leading affairs site - releases a table revealing the UK's most unfaithful cities based on where its users live.

Over the past year, the website has seen a six per cent increase in new users across the country - which is the highest annual rise in 18 years and is no doubt lined to Covid restrictions easing.

At the top of the cheating leader board is the sleepy city of Bath.

The wealthy Somerset city - famous for its Roman baths - has been officially named as the place where a husband or wife is most likely to have an affair.

Brighton and Hove takes third place with 6.87 per cent of the city's population admitting to cheating on their partners.

Inverness was 11th on the national table (4,537 cheats/6.7 % of the city’s population) and is Scotland’s cheating capital.

Newport was Wales’ adultery capital with 9,162 people having affairs (5.86% of the population) and 26th in the UK table.

But it's not all bad news - as Bolton, Bournemouth and Warrington were found to be the UK's most faithful places to live with the lowest numbers of cheats.
