The UK's 'adultery capital' for this year is Cheltenham, research has revealed. READ MORE:Steamy escapades, bougie luncheons and straying eyes would have Rivals fans believing that married couples in the Cotswolds are constantly cheating on one another amid glamorous dinner parties and tennis matches in the garden.
Not far behind Cheltenham, known for its posh surroundings and four-day horse racing festival, was Farnham, Surrey, with 5.99 per cent of people allegedly cheating on their partners.Elsewhere, 5.36 per cent of the population in Rhyl, Denbighshire were reportedly caught up in affairs, as were 5.35 per cent of people in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire.
But clearly not everyone in the Cotswolds has straying eyes - Swindon in Wiltshire, which borders the area, has been dubbed the UK's 'most faithful town', with only 0.35 per cent reportedly cheating. Women reportedly tend to seek out more attractive affair partners for their genetical material, but stay with a long-term mate who would make a better parent.
Participants were asked to rank the physical attraction stating: 'He was very sexy looking'; 'I didn't like the way he looked', or 'He was somewhat ugly', among others. However, the researchers reported that they found no evidence that the participants preferred their affair partner over their long-term mate.
