Loadsamoney: More than 60 per cent of people surveyed said they would dump their current partner for £1million

 

 

 

The majority of Britons would sell their partner for £1 million, and one in five would pretend to be terminally ill for the cash, a new survey has found.

The Channel 4 poll revealed the lengths the public are prepared to go to in order to get hold of £1 million.

 

Most respondents said they would be willing to sacrifice their relationship for the sake of cash.

More than 60 per cent said they would dump their current partner, while 54 per cent said they would let their partner sleep with a stranger.

Almost half of those polled would be willing to jeopardise a friend's relationship, with 48 per cent saying they would sleep with a friend's partner.

More than three quarters of people would pose nude for a magazine, while 89 per cent of those surveyed said they would go without sex for a year in exchange for the money.

Even more said they would go without shopping and drinking for a year, with 90 per cent declaring they could give up those vices for cash.

Lying to those closest to them was no problem for the 22 per cent of people who said they would pretend to be terminally ill to friends and family.

However, Britons drew the line when it came to their families.

Asked whether they were prepared to forfeit all contact with their family and friends, 99 per cent said they would not.

The survey was inspired by the new game show Unanimous, in which nine contestants lie, manipulate, argue, and fight to convince their fellow competitors to vote unanimously to give them the £1 million prize.

For the survey, Channel 4 interviewed 2,500 people online.
