Banksy has revealed his latest artwork created while in lockdown - a series of rats causing mayhem in his bathroom.

The elusive anonymous artist, who usually works in the street, posted a set of five images on his Instagram on Wednesday night, with the caption: “My wife hates it when I work from home.”

His images show rats - which have featured in many of his previous artworks - knocking the bathroom mirror to one side, hanging on the light pull, swinging on a towel ring and stepping on a tube of toothpaste.

One rodent is seen skipping on a roll of toilet paper, which has rolled down and across the floor.

Another appears to be urinating against the toilet seat, while one is reflected in the mirror apparently tallying up the days in lockdown in red lipstick.

The artwork is the latest Banksy piece since he created a piece of street art in Bristol in February, which was later vandalised. A picture shared on social media showed “BCC wankers” scrawled across the artwork, which showed a young girl firing a slingshot filled with flowers.

In December the artist’s take on a nativity scene was unveiled at a hotel in Bethlehem.

The Scar of Bethlehem features a nativity scene with Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus, but instead of a star hanging over the crib there is what appears to be a large bullet hole piercing an imposing grey wall.

The piece appeared in the Walled Off Hotel, which Banksy helped set up and overlooks the border wall in the divided city. Opened two years ago, the hotel is billed as having “the worst view of any hotel in the world” and is filled with original Banksy artwork.
