THURSDAY is by far the most popular night of the week to conduct an affair, according to IllicitEncounters.com, the UK's biggest extra-marital dating website.
More than 38 per cent of members of the website surveyed said they always tried to meet their lovers on a Thursday, while the least popular for liaisons is a Monday night, with just three per cent saying that was their favoured day.
"Saturdays are a no-no because suspicions may arise, plus there is the issue of family commitments," said a spokeswoman for IllicitEncounters.com. "Thursday is close enough to the weekend for late-night lovers to be able to swing a secret day off on Friday - or just battle through tired in the knowledge that the weekend is not far off.

"Monday is the least popular, because a late night on a Monday means that some people are not getting back up to speed at work until Wednesday.
"Sunday is a popular night - members gave the reason that they could claim early or distant meetings they needed to travel to."
Members of the website were asked: Which is the night of the week you are most likely to have a date with your lover?' 1,356 responded - 787 men and 569 women.
The late-night lovers' league table is:
1. Thursday (38.5 per cent).
