Spokesperson Jessica Leoni said: "This is due to lockdown cabin fever - increasing numbers of people have become fed-up with their partners after being stuck together at home for most of this year and even denied a summer holiday in many cases.
"People started dating again and cheating numbers surged as lots of new relationships were forged."
