She also told What’s The Jam: “I showed my boyfriend and he laughed.
“He told me I should get out of the car and take a video before we drove off.

“I wasn’t thinking quickly enough to cancel and order another because we didn’t think it would be real.
“I only checked the reg when he arrived which is what most people do I think.
“The driver was really kind.
“But in these situations especially in another country and when it’s a long ride to the airport it’s probably best to not take the risk, even if it’s a joke.”
A spokesperson for Bolt said: “Drivers are self-employed and may choose their own custom number plates.
“Bolt doesn’t own vehicles.”
