Just in time for Valentine’s Day, people have revealed the ten most common traits that give them the ‘ick’ when they start dating someone new.

The 'ick' is commonly described as a feeling of immediate disgust or an instant turn-off when you witness a certain behaviour by a date.

The reasons for this feeling can range from the understandable to the more bizarre but once people have experienced the ‘ick’, it’s usually impossible to regain physical attraction.

The results of a survey of over 2,000 adults by Betfair Casino has revealed the ten biggest dating ‘icks’, with arrogance being crowned as the trait that gives the public the ultimate 'ick' with 33% listing that as their biggest turn-off.

Other 'icks' that are guaranteed to put your date off are being rude to hospitality staff, with 30% of respondents listing this one, with having dirty fingernails, or being obsessed with star signs also coming in the top ten.

One surprising phenomenon that made the list was putting on a 'sexy' baby voice, which is often described as a high-pitched speech pattern put on by some women, such as the voice sometimes used by Paris Hilton.
