ALMOST everyone gets the fear of sending a text message to a person they weren't meant to.

But a hilarious gallery of screen shots has exposed shady cheaters who have admitted their infidelity - even though they didn't mean to, The Sun reports.

They range from the boyfriend who tries to blow off his date but then accidentally calls her by another girl's name, to the wife who lets slip she cheated with her husband's brother.

So next time you want to send a message, it's worth double checking who is receiving it before you press send.
