Netflix fans from one UK city have been left fuming as they have been revealed as having the most unfaithful residents. The streaming platform shared the news with their fans, leaving some feeling caught red handed.
They posted the results of their latest survey to coincide with the release of their new dating show, Cheat: Unfinished Business. Amanda Holden and Married At First Sight UK’s relationship expert Paul C. Brunson are on hand to help eight former couples. The new show sees former partners come together at a luxury retreat, where they will confront the cracks in their partnership. They all have one thing in common – they split due to cheating.
Now, Netflix has rumbled the one city in the UK couples need to fear if they don’t want to have their relationships end in tatters. In a post on X, they said: “Cheat: Unfinished Business is now on Netflix, so we conducted a survey to find the UK’s biggest cheaters.
“The winner is…..NOTTINGHAM. 41% of people in Nottingham admitted to having cheated on their partners, the highest % in the UK!”
While once being the home of outlaw Robin Hood, it seems today’s residents still have a rebel streak in them. However, not all Nottingham folk were best pleased by the news.
One fumed: “Ffs I live there lol.” Another added: “Some things never change.” Someone else commented: “Explains a lot.” A fourth simply wrote: “Checks out.”
“And this is why I hate my town,” fumed one resident. Despite Nottingham taking on the controversial crown, other cities also have their fair share of adulterous romances.
An astonishing 33 per cent of Brits admit they’ve been adulterous and gotten away with it. Nottingham is followed by Leicester (40 per cent), Leeds (38 per cent), Plymouth (38 per cent) and Norwich (38 per cent).
However, if your partner is from Sunderland, where 83 per cent have never strayed, Glasgow (76 per cent), Liverpool (75 per cent) or Cambridge (74 per cent), you have less to worry about.
Reasons for straying include being bored in the relationship (27 per cent), falling out of love with a partner (26 per cent), being drunk (24 per cent), and having a higher sex drive than the person you’re with (24 per cent).
The show’s relationship expert, Paul C. Brunson, said: “These findings expose the complicated, and often painful, reality of modern relationships.
“They reveal a striking disconnect between behaviour and accountability, with a significant number of people admitting to infidelity without facing consequences. But this research goes beyond shock value.
“It underscores the deep emotional toll of betrayal and the fragile process of rebuilding trust.”
Amanda and Paul are set to guide each couple to either reconcile or move on without one another in the new show. The TV star has first hand experience as her marriage to Les Dennis broke down after she had a brief affair with actor Neil Morrissey.
Despite her own infidelity, Amanda admitted she found it hard to not be judgmental about the couples on the new show. In a candid confession on The One Show, she said: “Oh my God it was very hard for me to sit on the fence.
“I would be the auntie and pop in and out. Try to be not judging, we all make mistakes, there are people who have made bad choices,” she added.
