Lydia Williams, 24, took to Twitter to rage about the massive cleaning bill she received after she and her boyfriend had accidentally knocked the sweets out of her hand, causing them to fall into the footwell of the car.

Sharing a picture of about 20 Skittles on the floor, she wrote: ''Can't believe I've had an £80 charge from Uber for 'the severity' of some spilt Skittles'' (sic).

After some users replied suggesting that she had received the fee after demonstrating ''bad manners'' she argued: ''We brought the driver a meal deal and a drink? Very polite actually.''

an Uber spokeswoman added: ''The Uber app is based on mutual respect for both riders and drivers. For licensed drivers who use the app, their vehicles are their place of work and any damage or mess can mean they are unable to continue working.''
