Royal Tunbridge Wells revealed as the UK's most adulterous town

It's bad news for married couples in Tunbridge Wells - after it was revealed as the UK's most cheating town.

Not only has the town been revealed as Kent's cheating hotspot, but it's beaten every other UK town to be given the dubious honour of the UK's most adulterous.

Data from the Infidelity Index shows that 2.2% of the town's adult population are cheaters - that's a total of 1,146 people.

It doesn't end there for Kent though, as Canterbury has been named the 12th most adulterous city in the UK, with an impressive 5.58% of its entire adult population cheating.

Also rife with adulterers are Ashford (5th in the UK with 1.85%), Gravesend (1.52% - 16th), Rochester (1.36% - 23rd) and Margate (1.26% - 29th).

The site's spokesman, Christian Grant, said: “Simply put, Kent is a hotbed for adultery.

"It not only houses the most adulterous town in the entire country, but with no less than nine towns in the top 140, very few regions in the UK can compete.

“We’d be remiss if we didn’t also point out that Canterbury, home of course to the Archbishop and principal leader of the Church of England, appeared as high as 12th on the city index.

“It appears that the Archbishop’s teachings are lost on his neighbours."

The data has been compiled from IllicitEncounters.com, which is the UK's leading dating website for married people and the leading authority on infidelity.

By mapping their 1.1 million users by location, the country's cheating hotspots have been revealed.
