ALEXA owners are being driven mad by a Motherland episode which keeps triggering their devices to order 12 bottles of wine, a taxi and play dance tunes.

Fans are warning others to turn their Amazon voice assistants off in case “an Uber turns up at your door” while watching.

In one scene, party girl Meg, played by Tanya Moodie, 49, says: “Mmm that is a good wine. Alexa, order 12 bottles of Sauvignon Blanc.”

Later, while hosting a bash with pals, she says: “Right, Alexa, order me an Uber. We’re going out.”

Later she screams: “Alexa, play my New Year’s Playlist. Alexa, play happy hardcore.”
