Sexy Pig and Poo Face are among the top 10 nicknames couples use according to High Street jeweller H Samuel.
The nicknames came to light when the jeweller reviewed their anonymous online gifting service ahead of Valentine’s Day.

Other nicknames include Monkey Boy, Munchkin and Lobster.
They bring to mind Hugh Grant’s nickname for Anna Chancellor’s character ‘Duckface’ in the film Four Weddings and a Funeral.
