IllicitEncounters.com spokesman Christian Grant said: “Cheating in Scotland is booming and particularly in Hamilton.
“Lots of couples in Scotland cannot afford to divorce due to the cost of establishing two new homes, so they are sticking with their partner and adding some spice to their marriage by discreetly having an affair.
“They know that with a site such as IllicitEncounters they can have an affair with a like-minded partner who is also looking to cheat. Both sides can have some fun without upsetting things at home.”
