As a third of Brits admit to spying on lovers, take our quiz and see if you have got 007 skills to snoop on your partner
Find out if you have got 007 snooping skills - or whether you would rather Live And Die when it comes to rumours
WOULD you snoop on a partner if you suspected they were cheating?
If so, you are not alone. More than a third of us have spied on our other halves by checking their phone or stalking them online.
And spurned spouses are using the incriminating information they find as grounds for divorce.
A survey of 2,000 people found that four in ten people check their partner’s phone at least once a week.
Incredibly, one in five men say they wait until their other half is asleep before using the sleeper’s fingerprint to unlock their phone.
More than half of the snoopers have found damning evidence — and 45 per cent have ended a relationship.
So how far would you go to unearth the truth?
Take Georgette Culley and Nick Pritchard’s spy quiz to see if you have got 007 snooping skills — or whether you would rather Live And Let Die when it comes to rumours.

HOW DID YOU DO
MOSTLY As: SNOOP DOGG
You want to give your partner the benefit of the doubt but you are naturally nosey.
Unlike more sophisticated spies though, you will only snoop if the opportunity arises.
You want to trust them, but be careful if you continue spying – you may not like what you find.
MOSTLY Bs: INSPECTOR GADGET
You are suspicious and desperate to find out if your partner is doing the dirty on you.
You must find out fast and think state-of-the-art technology will help you. From tracking devices to spy apps, you will use every trick going.
MOSTLY CS: JAMES (OR JANE) BOND
You’re on a mission to bust the cheat but the truth may leave you shaken, and stirred. Nothing, and we mean nothing, will get in your way.
You’ll use Q-style technology, covert tracking and will even trek to exotic locations to catch the baddie.
But beware, you could ruin a good relationship by being so untrusting.
