HOW MANY LOVERS SHOULD YOU CONFESS TO HAVING?

Lynn Macdonald, 28, an Australian nanny: "None. I'm a moral person and I'm getting married in January."

Richard Caufman, 46, a barrister from America: "I think 10 is about right.

I agree with the survey."

Maria Ipsos, 25, a PA from north-west London: "I think it's important to be honest - but maybe not if you've had loads of partners. Be honest up to 10."

Jessica Yates, 25, a shop assistant from west London: "I think as long as you tell the truth, it doesn't matter how many you admit to."

Mansoor Khwaja, 29, a manager for Transport for London, who lives in north London.

"It depends whether it's a man or a woman, but I'd say admit to 10 maximum."

Gavin Alboni, 26, a fashion designer from south London: "It doesn't matter.

There's no limit - but you'll need a calculator for me!"
