Half of adults have ended a relationship over an 'ick' - like smelling bad or being rude

Nearly half of Brits (49%) have called time on a relationship over an “ick” – including being too clingy, having bad teeth, and even having long or dirty fingernails.

The top turn-off in a relationship was simply smelling bad, according to one in eight (12%) of the 2,000 adults polled.

And 15% have called it quits with a potential match due to them being rude or overbearing, while the same number were put off by someone pretending to be more knowledgeable about something than they actually are.
