One in six men fancy this woman more than their wife

This could cause a LOT of fights at the Christmas dinner table.

So apparently the evil mother-in-law dynamic definitely doesn’t apply to all couples.

In the latest study that’s about to creep some married couples out, one in six males have admitted they find their mother-in-laws more attractive than their wife.

A study of 1,500 men also found that a quarter of those surveyed claim to have a genuine crush on their partner’s mammy, with 31 percent certain their mother-in-law secretly holds a soft spot for them too.

Thankfully, not all the survey results were as creepy, with two-thirds of men saying they’ll be happy if their partner ages as well as her mum (now there’s a statistic you can actually share with friends).

Women’s fashion brand Peter Hahn, who conducted the survey said:

"It’s easy to pigeonhole older women and sometimes hard for them to feel sexy or appreciated but this study reveals how admired so many mother-in-laws actually are, both for their appearances, style and personality overall".
