Psychologists at the University of Kent studied one hundred adults aged 18-54, 80 per cent of whom were female.

Nearly a third of participants (29 per cent) reported a likelihood to engage in revenge porn activity.

But a staggering 99 per cent expressed at least some approval of revenge porn being posted online when presented with a scenario about a partner walking out on them.

The researchers also found that 87 per cent of participants expressed at least some excitement or amusement with revenge porn.
