Meanwhile, in Australia, a piece of Banksy artwork valued at around \$50,000 (£31,100) has been accidentally destroyed by builders.

The parachuting rat was painted about 15 years ago on a wall in Prahran in Melbourne and has been a proud fixture of the area ever since.

However, it was ruined when builders smashed a hole so that they could put new pipes into the building.

Resident Tina McKenzie told ABC News Australia: “They’ve sawn into the side of the building without actually saying anything.

“But then, that’s builders… they wouldn’t even think”

Ms McKenzie has had dealings with Banksy, and said she was going to send him an email to say a TV crew had been out to film the incident.

When asked what he would do she said: “Well, he would probably laugh that there’s so much attention around something that he’s just done as a part of his lifestyle every day!”j
