People in Newport are more likely to cheat on their partner than residents of any other place in Wales, according to a new “index of infidelity”. Figures from Illicit Encounters - an online dating site for married men and women - have revealed that 9,162 in Newport are members.
That works out as 5.86% of the population, or around one in 17 - which is the 26th highest proportion of people using the cheating site in the UK, and the highest in Wales. Cardiff has the most members in the country on Illicit Encounters, a total of 20,683 people, which equates to 5.61% of the population and puts the city at 28th on the Infidelity Index.
And Swansea is not far behind, with 13,743 would-be cheats, which is 5.57% of the population and the 30th highest in the UK. Illicit Encounters mapped the location data of each of their members against each city’s adult population to find the most adulterous places in the country.
