Half of office romances involve at least one person already in relationship

Offices are a breeding ground for love, lust and infidelity, according to research.

A survey of 1,500 workers by approvedindex.co.uk revealed that over half of office flings involve at least one person who is already in a serious relationship or married.

Men are far more likely to have an illicit office dalliance, and account for almost 60% of workplace cheaters and nearly 70% of those who admitted to having an affair also regularly worked extended hours.
