Tesco driver accidentally tells customer 'love you' in embarrassing slip up

A Tesco delivery man has gone viral after he blurted out "love you" in a phone message to a customer.

The warm-hearted driver - known only as Simon - was calling the woman to tell her his delivery would be arriving early.

But Leanne Thomas was amazed to hear Simon's professional spiel abruptly end with an amorous declaration, followed by an embarrassed chuckle and apology.

Leanne said Simon was red-faced when he turned up with her groceries shortly afterwards but they had a good laugh about his emotional incontinence.

Leanne, from Carmarthen, South Wales, posted the recording on social media the following day.

She told Tesco: "Please please please give my delivery driver an extra day off... he made my day yesterday!"

Simon's voice message starts off professionally saying: "It's Simon here from Tesco.

"I'm just running early - I can be with you in about five minutes. I hope to see you there."

Unfortunately for Simon seemed to have forgotten who he was saying goodbye to and confused Leanne with his other half.

Simon declares: "Bye, love you, love you."

Immediately realising his blunder, Simon begins laughing and says: "Sorry, excuse me."

Leanne today said Simon the delivery driver felt a little embarrassed when he arrived.

She said: "He was a bit-red faced when he came to the door and he apologised profusely, but I told him he'd made my day and we had a good laugh."
