Charlotte Crosby is celebrating after her home city of Sunderland finished first in a list of the top UK places for sex during lockdown.
While she is of course best known for being one of the original cast members of Geordie Shore, Charlotte is a proud Mackem and still lives on home turf.
Sunderland came out on top of the survey carried out by Lovehoney, using extensive data on the UK’s sexual behaviour. The adult toy and lingerie company reports an 82% rise in Wearside people spending on sexual pleasure during lockdown, with Newcastle finishing well down the list in 55th place.
Sunderland beat Paisley in Scotland to first place, with Dumfries in third.
A number of other North East towns and cities are on the list, but well down it with Houghton Le Spring 448th, Whitley Bay 545th, Hebburn 584th, Wallsend 631st, South Shields 640th, Gateshead 681st, Washington 696th and Jarrow 725th.
Reacting to Sunderland topping the list, Charlotte, 30, said: "I always knew Mackems were the most passionate - now here’s the proof!
"Ha’way the lads and lasses of Sunderland - they are proper canny!
“You’ve only got to look at the list of famous people who come from Sunderland to know that we have always punched massively above our weight as a city."
Other famous people to come from Sunderland include England and Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson, DJ Lauren Laverne and multi-platinum selling singer Emeli Sande.
