Why always him: Mario Balotelli's burnt out Cheshire mansion

reveal the damage caused by the indoor display in his £7,500-a-month house in Mottram St Andrew, Cheshire, causing a reported £400,000 of damage. 

A friend of the millionaire footballer set off dozens of fireworks from 'multi-shot barrage cannons' in his first floor bathroom three years ago, starting a serious blaze. Bathroom towels were set on fire and the flames spread. Despite the scare he scored twice against rivals Manchester United a day later and revealed a t-shirt with the cryptic message: 'why always me?' New photographs appear to show how tiles and plaster were blown off the walls and ceilings, the walls were scorched and covered in soot and how the landlord had to rip out fittings and start again. Despite the unfortunate incident at home Mario was chosen to front a firework safety campaign days later.
