A chain of English tea rooms has a new staff member: a robot named Theresa.

She's the newest edition to the The Tea Terrace's branch in Surrey.

Apart from sharing a first name with the now-former British prime minister Theresa May, she also sports a grey wig.

The owners say they've named her after Mrs May's nickname, 'Maybot'.

Theresa can carry much heavier loads more quickly and more safely than human staff.

Owner Ehab Shouly says: "We've christened the robot Theresa in a nod to the media's nickname for former prime minister Theresa May.

"But our robot is far more intelligent than the vast majority of our British politicians, and she would easily juggle her job as a waitress at our restaurant and running the country."
