The vast majority of Danes who are open to a spot of adultery would enjoy a 'roll in the hay' with a famous person.

But while some of the choices are predictable (Helena Christensen and Caroline Wozniacki; Mads Mikkelsen and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), there were a few curve balls thrown in as well. Prince Joachim anybody? Well, apparently yes.

8 percent of adulterers say no
The survey was carried out by Scandinavian adultery site Victoria Milan, a website for people in relationships looking for an affair that regularly releases data about its members in a bid to attract more members.  

Based on the answers of over 3,500 of its members, 77 percent would be positively inclined to have an affair with a famous person. But just 8 percent said that they would leave their significant other for a famous person.

”Adultery is about living out secret fantasies, not about building long-term relationships. That's why famous people are exciting,” Sigurd Vedal, the CEO of VM, said in a press release.

Bendtner could score
VM  asked its members which famous person they would most like to have an affair with. Helena Christensen topped the men's list and footballer Nicklas Bendtner the women's.

For the men, Christensen was followed by tennis player Caroline Wozniacki, actress Iben Hjejle, Crown Princess Mary, TV personality Anette Heick, actress Sofie Lassen Kahlke, Duchess Alexandra, reality star Mascha Vang, Princess Marie and the justice minister, Mette Frederiksen.

For the ladies,  Bendtner was followed by actors Mads Mikkelsen and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, actor/director Alexander Kølpin, comedian Casper Christensen, author Christian Bitz, Crown Prince Frederik, musician Thomas Helmig, former politician Naser Khader and Prince Joachim.

The 300 … crazies
But while politicians Pia Kjaersgaard and Morten Messerschmidt didn't match Frederiksen and Khader, they can pride themselves on being profiled among the 300 craziest politicians in the world in the new book 'The Fat Boy with the Bomb and 299 of the World's Craziest Politicians' by Brian O’Connell, which will be available at bookstores later this month.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
