A MAN was freed from down a toilet by firemen - after he climbed in to retrieve his pal's mobile phone.

Dopey Cato Berntsen Larsen, 20, volunteered for the disgusting task because he was thin enough to get inside.

But he was left stuck with his hands forlornly clutching the rim for an hour unable to clamber out.

Tattooed Cato explained his friend dropped the phone inside as he tried to text while urinating at Hillside River Park in Drammen, Norway.

He added: "My friend said I was thinner, and could fetch it. I did not take time to think, and jumped down legs first.

"I was apparently thin enough to get down, but not thin enough to come up again.

"It was damn disgusting - the worst ever experience. There were animals down there too. I was bit several times.

"The sh*t was up to my thighs. I was sick. Then I started panicking because I hate confined spaces and couldn't move."

Friends called the fire brigade who had to smash the loo to haul him free.

After being treated for bruising on the arms and disinfected by medics. he said: "I really hurt and am going home to rest. I will never go down a toilet again."

Fire boss Kare Hoel added: "It was standing room only down the toilet."

He did retrieve the phone - but it was smashed in the fall.
