More than half of Brits have had a holiday romance – with six in ten of those so lovestruck they’ve extended their getaway just to be with them a little longer. A study of 2,000 adults found almost three-quarters (73 per cent) of those who have had a fling, stayed in touch with that special someone after returning home.
And two in five have booked a trip with the hope of finding love – with 30 per cent taking along a wingman, and 10 per cent pursuing romance alone. Living in the moment (35 per cent), being excited (31 per cent), and being spontaneous (30 per cent), were the top reasons the nation loves a holiday romance.
It also emerged a beach break is the perfect type of holiday for finding love – as people feel more attractive (32 per cent) and confident (28 per cent) with a glowing tan.
