A YouGov survey of 2,000 people found 12% of people say they have trouble controlling their anger.

One in four says they worry about how angry they sometimes feel and 64% think people in general are getting angrier.

Almost a third of 2,000 people polled said they had a friend or family member who struggled to contain their anger.

Chronic and intense anger has been linked to heart disease, cancer, stroke, colds and flu as well as depression, self-harm and substance misuse, the charity's Boiling Point report said.
