The top 10 UK towns you’re most likely to be cheated on, including Birmingham and Norwich

WHETHER it was just a drunken one-off or a full-blown love affair, there are countless reasons why people cheat on their partners.

But have you ever stopped to consider whether where you live plays a part in your partner's wandering eye?

New research by iD mobile has found that Brits living in Birmingham, York and London are the most likely to cheat in their current relationship.

A shocking 16 per cent of people surveyed living in these three cities admitted that they were currently being unfaithful.

Sheffield narrowly missed out of the top three spots, with 14 per cent of people admitting to cheating while Norwich claimed fifth place with 13 per cent.

Shockingly, one in 20 said they more likely to remain loyal to their mobile phone network than they are to their current partner.

Belfast, Liverpool, Southampton, Cardiff all featured in the top 10 Cheating capitals of the UK – with Manchester also coming in last place with 10 per cent.

The survey is part of iD Mobile's #BeUnfaithful campaign which encourages people to cheat on their current phone network and save an average of £212.

Unsurprisingly, the most common reasons people owned up to cheating were being stifled in the relationship, growing apart from their partner, or drunkenly taking a fancy to someone on a night out.

Unsurprisingly, the most common reasons people owned up to cheating were being stifled in the relationship, growing apart from their partner, or drunkenly taking a fancy to someone on a night out.

That said, the majority of cheating partners (18 per cent) said they were so overcome with guilt that they owned up to their infidelity.

And while they might not have actually done the dirty on their partner, a further 16 per cent of people surveyed admitted that their heads have been turned at one point or another.
