However, according to the restaurant, the couple never came back to pay their bill with the delivery driver. 

Posting an appeal on its Facebook page on Tuesday Manjaros Billingham said: "Anyone know this gorgeous couple? they ordered from our Billingham takeaway, came to collect the food from our driver took it into the house and said they are coming back to pay.

"They must’ve stuffed themselves and fell asleep on top of each other in the bath, and forgot about our driver.

"If you know these slobs, give them a nudge and tell them there’s a bill to be paid."

As expected, the post led to numerous people commenting on the post and finding the funny side of the appeal from Manjaros. 

However, others have said that they are looking to help the restaurant find the couple responsible.

Cleveland Police have been contacted by The Northern Echo about whether the incident has been referred to the police.
