The study, for consultancy didgeheads.com, found England’s married couples were likelier to be seeking divorce than those in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Didgeheads director Jessica Redman said: “It’s interesting to observe that England completely dominates the ranking of the major cities in the UK searching for divorce-related terms, while Cardiff and Belfast, alongside Glasgow, are among the ones searching the least for the topic.”

Ms Redman added: “This shows a rift in the nation regarding the impact of the holiday season on searches for information about divorce online.

“As the new year often leads to life re-evaluations, people in England may be more prone to major life changes at the start of the year than those in other parts of the UK.”
