Darren Dowling, 26 is well known on TikTok for his crazy takeaway antics, boasting more than 47,000 followers.

During the video, Dazza explains that if you purchase two wraps of the day and have everything removed but the chicken, you will end up with four Chicken Selects.
When the TikToker’s order arrives, he shows how the staff have put the four Selects into a pancake box, describing the food as ’absolutely beautiful.’
‘All you need to do is just order the two wraps of the day, take everything off it and there you go,’ he adds.
The hack left many people amazed, with one person calling Darren’s video ‘monumental.
A McDonald’s worker ‘applauded’ his efforts, while another user called him ‘the hero we deserve’.
