Gameshow The Traitors, based on deception and double-dealing, has been watched by over 10 m viewers to date.

A recent study suggests that the UK is becoming more dishonest.

The average Briton lies 2.08 times a day, according to a study from 2014 .

28% of males aged 18-25 were found to have "high-honesty dispositions", compared with 98% of females aged 66 and above.

Social media may have had a role in encouraging toxic behaviour, says Dr Shepherd .

A modern market economy like the UK depends on a basic assumption of truthfulness.

But there is some evidence that the UK is fairly honest compared with other countries.

Prof Whiteley speculates the UK may be about to become somewhat less honest.

He puts this down to crime incidents rising 10% in the year to June 2024 .

This, he says, is "going to make people less trusting and possibly more dishonest" If he's correct, there will be plenty of worthy candidates for future series.
