New cheating map exposes the number of people having affairs in Hamilton

Adultery has gone down by seven per cent in Hamilton in the last year.

A new cheating map reveals 1336 people in the town are having an affair - down from 1433 last year.

The figures are from Illicitencounters.com, Scotland's 'leading affairs' website.

The decline is being attributed to the COVID-crisis bringing couples closer together and making affairs less likely.

Jessica Leoni from the website told Lanarkshire Live : “We have seen a fall in cheating over the last year in Hamilton.

"The COVID crisis has brought couples closer together and made it less likely they will stray.

"We expect the figures to rise again in the run-up to Christmas. Adulterers often use work as a way to cover up their affair.”

The figures are based on IllicitEncounters’ own extensive data on the numbers of people cheating.

The interactive Infidelity Index allows users to search a city, town or postcode to discover how many people are having affairs in any locality.
