Brits are real revenge seekers when someone breaks their heart, it has been revealed.

According to a new study by MTV to launch their new show 'Ex On The Beach', 85 percent of people admitted they would seek revenge on an unfaithful partner and one out of five would even humiliate their exes by posting compromising photos and videos online, the Daily Star reported.

The survey which included more than 2,000 people between the ages of 18 to 35, found that social media was the hub for letting one's frustration out, while only one in five think that clearing out all traces of their former partner online would help wipe the wipe the slate clean.

It was also found that one third of the lot depends on drinking up with friends to get over the heartache while a quarter think one-night stands to be the cure.

The study revealed that women usually get back by making their boyfriends jealous with Taylor Swift's hit 'We Are Never Getting Back Together' as the breakup anthem.
