A comedian who fell asleep in an Uber car got a shock when the journey that should have taken minutes ended up as a 35-mile detour costing her £85.

Hannah Warman told the Evening Standard she ordered the cab to get home from a friends party, which was a five-minute walk away in Stoke Newington.

But after falling asleep, she was instead driven west through Wembley before eventually circling back - a journey that took 90 minutes.

The money has been refunded by Uber.
