One in five men feels too scared to peek inside their other half's handbag, a new survey has revealed.

The survey, conducted for Cadbury on 2,000 UK women, also found that four in 10 women consider someone looking in their handbag as intrusively as someone reading their text messages.

Loo roll, spare knickers, chocolate and an iPod were found to be among the belongings most women carry with them in their handbags at all times.

Painkillers, sunglasses and nail files are also most likely to be found deep in the recesses of their holdalls, alongside more predictable items like money, a make-up bag and a diary.
