'Britain's most prolific mistress' says cheating has 'exploded' since lockdown eased

A widow dubbed "Britains most prolific mistress" says an "explosion" of cheating has erupted since lockdown restrictions were lifted.

Gweneth Lee, 48, of Chelsea, who is juggling three affairs with rich married men, said there is a "cheating frenzy" going on since household meetings were allowed from May 17.

The ex-model, who has allegedly had more than 130 affairs over the last decade, said adulterous partners are releasing months of ''pent up sexual frustration''.

“I have never known it to be so busy and it is like there is a cheating frenzy going on," said Ms Lee.

''Bored spouses are desperate to have some fun now that all the vulnerable have been vaccinated and it is safe to have casual sex again.

"More than a year of pent-up sexual frustration is being released and there has been an explosion of affairs over the last few weeks."

Ms Lee married a Dutch oil executive named Robert. Both partners started using a website called Illicit Encounters, and she carried on after his death ten years ago.

During lockdown, Ms Lee claims she received gifts from rich lovers including a £3,000 racing bike, a £20,000 Salvador Dali atwork bought at an online auction, jewellery from Tiffany and designer clothes and lingerie.

Ms Lee admits she broke lockdown rules by seeing select lovers who were stuck at home.

But she insists she was tested regularly and made sure her partners had a negative test.

Since restrictions were lifted last week she has already met up with three married lovers.

One is a "rich hotelier" who she said is bored with his wife. They have an arrangement where he can have affairs "as long as he is discreet".

They caught up as soon as it was legal to do so. "The sex was electric", she said. "We made love all night and feasted on champagne, strawberries and oysters through room service."

Another lover is a married man who works for a City hedge fund. She said he has "made an absolute fortune" in the last year from shrewd investments on how the pandemic will affect the markets.

The third lover is a married bookmaker with a stake in an online poker firm who she met in the last weeks of full lockdown.

Lee said: ''Life’s too short too short to be stuck in one boring relationship for 40 years or more.

“If there is one lesson we have all taken from the pandemic it is that we need to lead life to the full and not worry too much about tomorrow.

“People want to seize the day and have an affairs if they are stuck in a relationship for the sake of the kids where the sex is rubbish.”

An Illicit Encounters spokesperson said: “Gweneth’s experience mirrors that of a lot of our customers.

“There has been a surge in activity over the last few weeks as everyone celebrates the imminent end of lockdown."
