This is the hilarious moment a cheeky monkey gets one over on an oblivious bus driver - by boarding his bus and stealing his lunch.

The amusing video, showing the animal entertaining a coach full of tourists in Spain, has now gone viral after being shared several thousand times online.

In the clip, the monkey is seen perched on the driver's window holding a banana skin that it drops on the floor of the cab.

Responding to the monkey's behaviour, the driver says: "Don't drop it on the floor, what's wrong with you?"

He then strokes the animal's fur and tells it to say bye to the rest of the passengers, attempting to usher it out of the window.

But the monkey has other ideas, and leaps into bus, grabs the driver's lunch and runs off.
