However, behind the smiles and the niceties, 90 percent of us claim to have a dark side – with the average Brit owning up to doing something bad six times in the last 12 months.

Saying something spiteful to hurt someone else (25 percent), sharing a secret had promised you’d keep to yourself (22 percent) and kissing someone you shouldn’t made Brits naughty list.

One in twenty (5 percent) even admitted to having an extra marital affair and 16 percent have sworn at a stranger in the street after a minor disagreement.

The ‘good v bad’ study, which was carried out by online casino playojo.com also revealed women claim they are more likely to have a dark side than men (61 percent).
