We are back again with the data that has been shared by news outlets worldwide and even the cheaters website Illicit Encounters. The Cheating Statistics UK 2025 numbers are all from our data ONLY this year and I haven’t searched any other polls this time.
Did the numbers change? Are women better at hiding affairs, let the numbers do the talking.
Firstly I’m going to share my numbers of how many people got in touch with us for cheating partner concerns, how many turned into clients and then how many were cheating!
This lets you see a measurement I’ve not reviewed before. How many people are calling in for this exact reason not just how many are cheating.
For the whole year of 2025 we saw 74 people call us with the horrible feeling their partner was cheating. Not huge numbers but please remember we are a small agency advertising predominately in the East Midlands, UK.
We received 39 calls/emails from women and 35 calls/emails from men which puts the split of enquiries at 52.70% from women and 47.30% from men. For enquiries at least that puts it at almost half.
This dispels the myth that men aren’t worrying as much as women about affairs where the suspicion is enough to enquire with private investigators.
Now I’m going to expose myself here about our sales conversions but of the 74 men and women who enquired we were hired by 24 people who became clients.
We had 16 female clients which is 66.7%.
So then we had 8 male clients which is 33.3%.
In a lot of the cases, when I speak to potential clients who suspect their partner to be having an affair, the initial discovery call itself helps that person to figure out how to move forward. Sometimes my advice sparks them to do a DIY investigation of their own. In other times, it simply assures them they are not having unfound worries and that is all they need to confront their partner about an affair. In other cases, we get hired..
With 24 clients needing cheating partner services in 2025 which varied from covert surveillance and vehicle tracking. Only ONE our our cases saw the suspected partner NOT cheating. They were simply over-obsessing in their hobby and spending countless hours invested in that… and it was certainly not a common hobby.
So of 24 cases only one was being faithful putting the percent of our cheating discovery rate at 95.83%! This leads me to say if you call in and hire us, we will very likely find exactly what you have been suspicious of.
The Men versus Women tally though on the numbers.
Of the 23 confirmed cheaters we evidenced 14 men and 9 women, as one of our clients was in a lesbian marriage.
Putting the numbers at 60.87% male cheaters and 39.13% female cheaters!
The men won this year by a large margin! Compared against last years numbers in Cheating Stats UK 2024 this years stats saw men cheat more than woman by 20% compared to last year which was at 11%.
If the above is too much for the Cheating Statistics UK 2025. This year I’m going to do a TL;DR type round for you all as numbers often blur in a blog like this and I’ve seen Reddit has picked up a blog of mine recently.
In short;
