Eastbourne leads East Sussex with 502 cheaters, narrowly ahead of Hastings’ 489.

Crawley also holds the questionable distinction of being listed 25th among towns in the UK, with 1.23 per cent of the population having an affair.

Meanwhile, High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire is the affairs capital of the UK in 2016, with 2119 people cheating on their partners - 2.12 per cent of the town’s population.
