Summer loving: Over 55s have 'the most holiday flings'Rex


The over 55s are throwing caution to the wind and enjoying the most holiday romances abroad, according to a new survey.

Two in five Brits are finding love on holiday, with 56% saying the change of scenery makes them feel less inhibited.

The study by hotels.com also unearthed another surprising result: one in five of the over 55s admitted to enjoying more than one faraway fling on the same trip.

But, rather than leading to a long-lasting relationship, less than 6% of getaway get-togethers went the distance, and 28% admitted lying about which hotel they were staying at to avoid further contact, according to the Express.

Meanwhile, earlier this month it was revealed that Newcastle was named the 'one-night stand capital' of Britain.
