Unique gift for Balotelli

Controversial Italian star Mario Balotelli was presented with an unexpected gift following training with his club Nice on Tuesday.

Presenters from a satirical Italian television show turned up on the Cote d’Azur to offer Balotelli a bidet. In Italy there is a running joke about French hygiene due to the fact few people own a bidet, while almost every bathroom across the Alps is equipped with one. Balotelli took the joke in his stride, laughing as he accepted the gift before leaving it on the ground.
