McDonald's has announced it is looking into extending its delivery service to countries including the UK.

The fast food giant already delivers to countries including China and Singapore, and now it's set its sights on the US, France, the UK, Germany and Canada.

The company said with the rapid increase in food delivery in these countries “the landscape has created an exceptional opportunity for growth”.

“Because of our extraordinary footprint, McDonald’s is uniquely positioned to become the global leader in delivery,” it said in a statement.
