A man was left shocked after his JustEat takeaway from Greggs, which contained a sausage, bean and cheese melt, crisps, cookies and a sandwich meal deal, cost him £249.

Liam Halewood, 36, issued a warning to other JustEat customers after noticing the eye-watering bill.

The Boy George impersonator had ordered his Greggs using the JustEat app, and urged others to check their bank accounts if they recently did the same.

Liam, who currently lives in Blackpool but is from Liverpool originally, posted his monster receipt on social media.

He also claimed that other people had suffered from the same issue, reports the Liverpool Echo.

He said: "I ordered the food and then it got taken out of my bank showing £249 for the delivery.

"One [person] said it was costing them £900 and another said it was going to cost them £399 for the delivery charges.

"I think JustEat has had a glitch in its system, which to be honest for a big company it shouldn't happen really. If someone didn't check their statement and that money got taken out they say you only have like 24 hours to rectify any order that you have made."

The singer explained that the food delivery company has since corrected his bill.

"They have rectified it now and given me my order for free with £5 off my next order," he continued.

"But, I think it is important that when you use delivery companies and when you're paying on your card over the internet and the phone that you do check things anyway.

"Some older people who don't really know how to use the internet might have just let that go but because I pulled mine up it got rectified dead quick."

Liam hasn't been put off using JustEat in the future despite the ordeal.

He added: "This kind of thing has made me realise that you should check every time you're ordering and make sure they're charging the correct delivery fee.

"My thing was just that there was probably a glitch and how many people actually ordered and never checked. This might get people now to double check."

A JustEat spokesperson said: "We're aware of an issue on our platform today that briefly affected the price of delivery orders for a very small percentage of our customers.

"This issue is now completely resolved and we are in the process of offering a full refund for all customers affected."
