Michael and Lisa top names for love cheats - and Michelle loves a dalliance too

If you’re married to a Michael or a Lisa, you’d better watch out… they are the top names for love cheats.

A poll found that Brits with those names are more likely to be unfaithful to their ­partners than any other men or women.

Michaels are always looking for new thrills – none more so than Simply Red’s Mick Hucknall, 60, who claims to have slept with 3,000 women, and Rolling Stone Mick Jagger who is said to have bedded even more.

And women called Lisa, Elizabeth and Michelle also get itchy feet – just like Michelle Pfeiffer, 62, who cheated on her now ex-hubby Peter Horton with John Malkovich on the set of Dangerous Liaisons.

One in five men called Michael have admitted having an ­affair while 18 per cent of Lisas have played away, ­according to IllicitEncounters.com, a dating ­website for married couples.

However, a poll of the site’s 3,400 members found that men called Jack and women called Tracey were the most loyal.

Just three per cent of Jacks and four per cent of Traceys admitted cheating.

The survey found that after Michael, men called David were the second most likely to play away, with Matthew, James and Christopher close behind.

Women called Catherine and Nicole also ranked highly when it came to cheating.

IllicitEncounters.com’s Jessica Leoni said: “If you have a partner called Michael or Lisa, you may need eyes in the back of your head.”
