Investing in some more subtle holiday clothing could be a bit less embarrassing.

5. Sticking to British food

Rounding out the top five most embarrassing things Brits do abroad is sticking to British food.

British food is great, but one of the best bits of going abroad is indulging in the local cuisine.

Sampling delicacies you can't get anywhere else can broaden your horizons and you might find something delicious.

Besides, chicken and chips will still be here when you get back.

Also on the list were showing off sunburnt bodies, wannabe Instagram influencers constantly snapping selfies and playing your music loudly in public.

Co-founder of hoo Adrian Murdock said: “Things are certainly starting to look up for the travel and tourism sector and fingers crossed that 2022 is the year we see the return of foreign holidays.

"As welcome as the Brits most certainly are when we go abroad, perhaps we’re also ready to do away with some of those more embarrassing traits that we’ve become notorious for while visiting foreign lands.”
