According to a recent study, 45% of men and 21% of women in the UK have cheated in the past.

But if you’re worried that your lover is getting frisky with another person, there are ways to catch them out.

Here Dr Amy Iverson, a London-based performance coach, sheds light on six warning signs you need to be wary of.

“No matter how strong you believe your relationship to be, it is likely there will come a day when your partner feels tempted,” Dr Amy told FEMAIL.

“Every relationship is different but there are a number of indicators that precede almost every affair.”

Here are the six warning signs you should look out for:

1. What does their upbringing reveal?

People from broken families with a history of infidelity are more likely to cheat.

If they come from an abusive, strict or troubled family background, they’re also more likely to stray.

2. What does their previous behaviour tell you?

Does your partner have a history of cheating? Or are they addicted to porn or sexting? These could be early signs of cheating.

Also if you take a look at their social circle, do they have a lot of pals or close families who have been unfaithful to their partners?

Think about their reaction to people their close with and how they behave when someone’s cheated.

3.What’s going on with their life right now?

Getting fired, promoted or retiring can also affect a person’s self-confidence and interest in exploring sexual opportunity.

Surprisingly, death is also a powerful aphrodisiac and can make the idea of an affair more appealing, according to Dr Amy.

4.Behavioural changes?

A person’s behaviour is most likely to change and be affected at the beginning of the affair.

Suddenly, they could spending a lot of time on their appearance, could be a new haircut or an obsession to fitness.

Other obvious signs include taking calls in different rooms and using social media more than usual.

5.Is your relationship different?

Ask yourself if you feel something different in the relationship.

Are they more moody or guarded? The prospect of an affair will also affect your sex life.

6.What’s changed in your life?

Changes in your life may push them away sometimes.

If they feel neglected or unloved, your lover could be more open to the prospect of cheating.

Ask yourself if you’ve been neglecting your partner and investing time into the relationship?
