Megxit voted biggest betrayal in British history – what other infamous moments made the list?
MEGXIT has been voted the biggest betrayal in British history.
Prince Harry and wife Meghan’s January 2020 announcement that they would be stepping back as working royals was picked by more than a quarter in a poll.
Second was the 2001 Who Wants To Be A Millionaire cheating scandal.
The disastrous Willy Wonka Experience in Glasgow earlier this year came third.
Also in the top ten were the Wagatha Christie clash between Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy, the Great British Bingate scandal and Robbie Williams quitting Take That in 1995.
Bianca Sammut, from Alton Towers Resort, which was behind the poll, said: “As a nation Britain is defined by its sense of fair play. That’s why we find betrayals so hard to stomach.
“From Megxit to Wagatha Christie and The Willy Wonka Experience we’re glad to have finally settled the ultimate debate over Britain’s Biggest Betrayals.
“As our iconic Nemesis Reborn beast suffered the ultimate betrayal at the hands of her captors, we wanted to shine a light on these iconic moments.
“Since re-opening in March more than 200,000 thrillseekers have already experienced the monster’s vengeful return.”
Alton Towers also explored the nation’s attitudes towards being betrayed and found that most people (11 per cent) hold a grudge for less than a day, followed by two to three days (10 per cent) and one day (nine per cent).
Partners are most likely to hold a grudge for the longest (18 per cent) followed by siblings (15 per cent) and work colleagues (10 per cent).
The home (24 per cent) is where we are most likely to fall out with someone, followed by the pub and at work (16 per cent).
