The fully-functioning toilet, dubbed 'America', was created by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan and estimated to be worth around £1 million.

A gang of thieves on Saturday stole an 18-carat gold toilet from Britain's Blenheim Palace, police said, causing flooding that damaged the world-famous stately home.

The toilet was one of the star attractions in an exhibition of Cattelan's works that opened on Thursday at the palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. "The offenders broke into the palace overnight and left the scene at about 4.50am . No-one was injured during the burglary," police said in a statement. "Due to the toilet being plumbed into the building, this has caused significant damage and flooding."

He added:"Despite being born with a silver spoon in my mouth I have never had a shit on a golden toilet, so I look forward to it."
