A MCDONALD'S customer has told of his horror after finding what he believes to be human faeces on the floor at a London restaurant.

Disgusted Ben Terry posted a picture of the "human poo" on the chain's Facebook page.

The image shows what appears to be a small piece of excrement lying on the toilet floor at the outlet in Forest Gate, Newham.

Wet tissues are scattered beside it on the floor, which appears to be wet.

Ben wrote: "Actual human poo on the floor in Forest Gate McDonald's. Absolutely disgusting.

“How can you expect people to eat food here and they can't even clean the toilet properly."

A spokesman for McDonald's said the toilets were "immediately closed for cleaning" following the shock find.

He added: "“Cleanliness and hygiene is of the utmost importance to us and we can confirm that as soon as this incident was brought to the attention of our restaurant manager the toilets were immediately closed for cleaning.

"The incident was resolved quickly and professionally by our restaurant crew.”

This is not the first time human excrement has been found on the toilet floor of a McDonald's.

Earlier this year, Steven Jackson filmed himself walking into a toilet cubicle in Bristol to find a rather unpleasant surprise.

The video shows a huge pile of faeces lying beside the toilet on the floor.
