Cheating to the chart tops

West London boroughs lead the tables in infidelity survey

THERE’S bad news if you live in Kensington and Chelsea and you’re married... The borough has just been named London’s infidelity hotspot.

It ranks top of a new survey, with neighbouri­ng Hammersmit­h and Fulham not far behind in third place out of 33.

Brent and Ealing were other west London boroughs which had the dubious honour of making it into the top 10.

Research was carried out by premium site xxxpanded, which concluded doing the horizontal cha-cha with someone that wasn’t your partner was highest in relatively wealthy areas.

A spokespers­on said: “Research has found that rich and powerful men and women are more likely to cheat.

“Having status and power is desirable to others. These individual­s could face more temptation and loneliness when working long hours away from their partners, and crave that same adrenaline rush they so often experience in their work.”

The poll was conducted between January to September 2016, with a sample of 5,212 adult men and women who live in one of the London boroughs.

More than 12% of people from the Royal borough admitted to cheating at least once, with Hammersmit­h and Fulham scoring 11.5%.

Hillingdon comes 12th with 8.3%, while the best behaved west London borough was Westminste­r, in 25th place with 6.8%

The best behaved couples in London can be found in Havering on the borders with Essex, where only 2.6% said they had done the dirty on their partner.
