A writer has told 麻豆社 5 live how he tricked TripAdvisor into making his shed the number one restaurant in London.

Speaking to Emma Barnett, Oobah Butler explained how he created a fake restaurant in his garden using photographs of food made up of bleach and shaving foam.

A spokesman for TripAdvisor, which has since deleted the listing, said: 鈥淕enerally, the only people who create fake restaurant listings are journalists in misguided attempts to test us. As there is no incentive for anyone in the real world to create a fake restaurant.鈥�
