A delivery driver has been sacked by Tesco after he apparently sent a "disgusting" x-rated text message to a female customer.

The woman, from south London, complained of sexual harassment after receiving the message from a delivery driver hours after he dropped her shopping off.

She posted a screengrab of the lewd message on social media and pledged to report it to police.

It read: “I delivered shopping to you this evening."

“He then follows up with: "I think your [sic] sexy I want you to s*** my c*** while I lick your p****."

In a message to Tesco alongside the screengrabs, the woman wrote: "Your driver stored my personal details and texted me this disgusting nonsense then woke me up calling me.

"This is sexual harassment and I am going to go to the police."

Tesco said the man would never work for the company again after the message came to light.

A supermarket spokesman said: “This behaviour is completely unacceptable.

“We took immediate action to ensure this agency driver will never work for Tesco again and are in contact with the customer.

“We are extremely sorry for any upset caused.”
