TikTok star who calls himself 'King' moans he was 'scammed' by Wetherspoons after he's bought £2,000 of food and drink

A TikTok star says he was 'scammed' by a Wetherspoons pub after food and drink bought for him by followers never arrived. Tom Birchy, who dubs himself the 'King of Leeds' got over £2,000 of food and drink bought for him by fans after telling them which table he was sat at.

Tom said: "Right full madness anything you've ordered if not going to be sent because you are not going to be sent. And also you are not going to be refunded.

Tom clapped back at one TikTok who said the pressure on the bar "isn't good". The 23-year-old said: "Na bro trust me I used to work in a Wetherspoons in Leeds as well - 40 hours a week it was hard graft mate.

When one of my boys reads the terms and conditions and finds out that's not in it that's theft."

In a statement, Wetherspoons confirmed they are working on refunding the orders which
