Andy Murray was left astonished upon hearing about an Australian man’s staggering £18,000 Uber Eats bill. Speaking with AFL great Brendan Fevola, the tennis star jokingly said that Fevola deserved a knighthood for managing to consume so much takeaway via the popular app.
Fevola revealed that, at the height of his fast-food obsession, he would order from Uber Eats up to four times a day. He even believes he might be the No. 1 customer in Australia, after discovering that he ranked in the top 0.0001 per cent of Uber Eats users in the country.
“I once spent £18,000 ($36,000 AUD) on Uber Eats in a single year,” Fevola shared with Murray during the Fifi, Fev and Nick show. “I order Uber Eats all the time… we sent a letter to Uber Eats to see where we ranked nationwide in a year,” he explained.
“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].”
In disbelief, Murray exclaimed, “You should get knighted!” before asking, “This is genuine?”
Fevola confirmed: “This is fair dinkum, yeah.”
Murray then asked what Fevola was ordering to run up such a massive bill. Fevola admitted he was indulging in breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily, sometimes ordering multiple dishes at once.
He responded, “Yeah, breakfast, lunch… and dinner. Uber Eats is so good. I don’t know what to choose, so if I want a steak, a chicken parma, and some dumplings… I just order all three and nibble at them all.”
Fevola had previously confessed that he sometimes used the app four times a day. “We get home at a certain time, and I get hungry, so you just eat and eat,” the 44-year-old Carlton and Brisbane Lions legend 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, you have another snack, then you might order dessert, and then dinner.”
Murray is currently in Australia, coaching Novak Djokovic at a Grand Slam for the first time. Their partnership is already proving successful, with Djokovic advancing to the Australian Open quarterfinals, where he will face Carlos Alcaraz in an exciting matchup tomorrow.
