Olympian Ariarne Titmus has shared a disturbing video of her Uber driver watching Instagram reels on his phone while still driving the car.

In vision shared to Titmus’ 220,000 followers, the driver’s phone is shown sitting in a car mount with a video playing.

Gold-medallist Titmus, who sensationally quit swimming in October, deplores the driver’s behaviour in a post which has since been taken down.

“My uber driver today was watching Instagram reels the entire ride home from the airport,” the retired swimming great, 25, said.

“Two, how is he still driving given I rated him 1 star and would expect the same from others?”

Ms Titmus won the 400m freestyle event at the 2020 and 2024 Olympic Games and posted the video to her public Instagram account, which has almost 220,000 followers.

Uber and Ms Titmus have been contacted for further comment.
