Andy Murray was left stunned after learning about one man’s enormous £18,000 Uber Eats bill. The tennis icon told AFL great Brendan Fevola that he deserved a knighthood for getting through so much takeaway via the fast food app.
At the height of his obsession, Fevola revealed that he would order from Uber Eats four times per day. The Australian believes he is the No. 1 customer after learning that he ranked in the top 0.0001 per cent of people ordering in the country.
He disclosed that he once spent £18k ($36,000 AUD) on Uber Eats in a single year. “I want to tell you a little stat. I order Uber Eats all the time… we sent a letter to Uber Eats to see where we rank [nationwide] in a year,” Fevola told Murray on the Fifi, Fev and Nick show.
“Fi (Fifi Box) had spent about $3,500 AUD… and I was ranked in the top 0.001 per cent of Australians. I was pretty much the number one Uber Eats [customer].”
“You should get knighted,” Murray declared before asking: “This is genuine?”
Fevola replied: “This is fair dinkum, yeah.”
Murray was intrigued to know what Fevola was ordering to rack up such a hefty bill. It turns out that breakfast, lunch and dinner were all on the menu.
The response was: “Yeah, breakfast, lunch… and so, dinner, because Uber Eats is so good.
“I don’t know what to choose so if I want a steak, a chicken parma, some dumplings… I just order all three and just nibble at them all.”
Fevola has previously revealed that he would sometimes order takeaway from the app four times a day. “We get home at a certain time and I get hungry and you just eat and you eat,” the Carlton and Brisbane Lions legend, 44, once said on the show.
“I was ordering Uber Eats, this is no word of a lie, a minimum of twice a day, sometimes up to four times because you order it to work. When you get home, then you have another snack, and then you might order dessert, then you order dinner.”
Murray is in Australia working as Novak Djokovic’s coach for the first time at a Grand Slam. Their partnership is already showing signs of success, with the Serb into the quarter-final of the Australian Open.
Djokovic will face Carlos Alcaraz in an exciting quarter-final tie tomorrow.
