A survey of the things people find under their beds turned up some bizarre results, from sweaty socks to sex toys.

And one man looked underneath his bed – to find his wife’s secret girlfriend, reports Sky News.

The survey, by hotel chain Travelodge, said people also found dirty plates, guitars and a mouldy Chinese takeaway.

One of the 2,000 adults questioned returned home to find his wife under the covers and a ‘rustling sound’ coming from under the bed. It turned out to be his wife’s girlfriend.

One woman feared a gas leak only to discover the source of the stench came from a pair of her husband’s sweaty football socks left festering for two years.

Another man was helping his mother-in-law move her bed only to find her collection of adult toys.

Over a third of those polled said they only vacuumed under the bed once a year. One in four would be embarrassed if someone looked under their bed.

Travelodge spokesman Wayne Munnelly said: “Your bed is a haven and its surroundings should be clean and clutter-free to aid a good night’s sleep and that includes under your bed.”
