Rock veteran VAN MORRISON screamed in rage upon realising his backstage toilet was occupied by a trespasser - even though the culprit was an Irish TV star.

Fan ARDAL O'HANLON - who starred as FATHER DOUGAL in cult comedy series FATHER TED - was elated when his celebrity status gained him access to the BROWN EYED GIRL singer's hospitality area after a gig.

But his mood quickly changed to fear when he heard Morrison furiously question why someone was urinating in his personal toilet.

O'Hanlon says, "I was hovering around backstage and mistakenly used Van's toilet just at the moment he wanted to use it.

"So I got a blast from Van The Man - 'Who's in my f**king toilet! That's my toilet!'"
