The top 10 things Brits lie about the most revealed including salary and sporting ability
A THIRD of Brits have admitted to lying about their personal life - by exaggerating their salary - sporting ability - and knowledge of current affairs. A study, of 2,000 adults, found 59 per cent of these have done so at a dinner party, while 38 per cent have exaggerated funny stories for full comic effect - with 66 per cent most likely to embellish to their friends and 44 per cent to colleagues.

One in three Brits admit they lie at dinner parties - and it's not just about the cooking
A study of 2,000 adults found the most common things people lie about at dinner parties are their salary, how sporty they are and their knowledge of current affairs A third of Brits admit to fibbing about their personal lives often exaggerating their salaries, sporting ability, or knowledge of current affairs, particularly at dinner parties. A poll of 2,000 adults found that 38 per cent have embellished a story to friends or colleagues to make it more entertaining. Even childhood memories are subject to embellishment, with 13 per cent confessing to stretching the truth when chatting to their in-laws. But the white lies don't stop at small talk. The survey revealed that 14 per cent of people would be economical with the truth about how they prepared food when hosting guests. In fact, a quarter of hosts have served up air-fried dishes but claimed they were cooked another way. The research was commissioned by Bosch, who teamed up with The Traitors stars Harry Clark and Mollie Pearce to challenge myths about air-fried food following the launch of its new air fryer. The reality TV stars invited sceptical members of the public into a studio kitchen to sample two identical-looking dishes: one cooked traditionally, the other in an air fryer. Harry Clark said: "It's funny to see how many people will lie at the dinner table to make themselves look good." "But it's not just embellishing their tales to others, clearly, some people feel the need to be a little deceptive when it comes to how they're preparing their food," he added. "I've got a decent nose for spotting when something's not quite what it seems - and food's no exception. When we watched people try to guess which dish was cooked in the air fryer, it was hilarious as most of them got it wrong." A quarter of those surveyed admit they worry that if they exaggerate too much, others will discover the truth. Meanwhile, 28 per cent have been caught out in a lie, usually by their friends. When it comes to dinner parties, 19 per cent say they would lie and tell the host they enjoyed the meal, even if they didn't. Nearly half of Brits still prefer traditional cooking methods and are wary of using an air fryer. In contrast, 37 per cent have proudly served up an air-fried dish to dinner party guests. A Bosch spokesperson said: "When it comes to new cooking tech, people are divided - some are devoted fans of the air fryer, while others just don't trust it yet. "That's why we created Air Fryer or Air Liar - to prove you don't need to fake it."
