Newcastle has been named and shamed as one of the North East’s most popular areas for having an affair.
The city has 19,254 people who are cheating on their partners, claims the website Illicit Encounters.
It has compiled the Infidelity Index 2018, which lists the UK’s most adulterous towns and cities.
It says 6.52 percent of Newcastle’s population is carrying on behind their partner’s backs.
And it’s even worse in Durham where just 5,152 people are having an affair - but it’s more than 8 per-cent of the population.
The statistics place Newcastle as the 10th most cheating city in the whole country on the site’s infidelity index.

Bedlington darts ace Chris Dobey admits he is full of confidence at the moment after reaching his second ever PDC Pro Tour final at the weekend.
The 27-year-old battled through a field of 128 players to reach the Players Championship 5 final, only to run into world No 1 Michael van Gerwen.
The two-time world champion was in imperious form, running out a 6-2 victor in Milton Keynes - despite Dobey posting a staggering 109.6 average.
‘Mighty Mike’ raced into a 4-0 lead, firing in a 12-darter and capitalising on six missed darts from Dobey to break twice.
Dobey hit bag with a stunning 10-dart leg before breaking throw to reduce the arrears to 4-2.
But Van Gerwen produced a moment of brilliance in the seventh leg, landing a 160 checkout with Dobey sitting on tops to move to within a leg of victory before closing out the win in leg eight.

Sainsbury’s has committed to paying staff well above both the national living wage and voluntary “real” living wage by raising the basic rate by £1.20 an hour.
From September, staff in the North East will get paid at least £9.20 an hour, which means Sainsbury’s employees will have the highest basic pay of supermarket employees.
Currently, Aldi is the top payer with a basic rate of £8.85.
Hopefully, other supermarkets will soon follow their lead.
We’ve had a browse of which jobs are on offer at major supermarkets in our region.
They include some roles at Sainsbury’s in Northumberland.

A second man has been arrested on suspicion of robbing a man who later died after being found unconscious on a Bedlington garage forecourt.
Police and paramedics were called to the Spar garage on Station Road in the Northumberland town at 5.40am on Tuesday, where they found the unconscious man.
He was taken to hospital but passed away from his injuries.
After his death, police said he may have been robbed just hours before he was discovered on the garage forecourt.
Police stressed that the suspected robbery was not directly linked to the death, having allegedly taken place some time before he was found unconscious.
Officers initially arrested a 43-year-old man on suspicion of robbery, and on Friday revealed that a second man had been arrested.
