YOU might find this hard to believe ...but one in five workers regularly lie to their bosses, a survey found.

Made-up reasons for arriving late, whoppers about how busy or not - they are and pulling a sickie are among the most frequent fibs.

But the top porky is about how the employee is feeling, said 26%.

Almost a fifth (18%) say they got away with a terrible mistake by denying it but 31% reckon their facial expression would give it away.

While 20% admit their body language would be a telltale sign.

The poll of 2,000 employees by 888poker found two-thirds (67%) think they generally get away with lying, but 16% have been caught.
