Firefighters from Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue Service (DSFRS) used small tools to remove the toilet seat.

A spokeswoman for DSFRS said: "The fire service received a call reporting a boy with a toilet seat stuck on his head at the above location and very distressed.

"One fire appliance from Barnstaple attended. Fire crews removed the toilet seat from the head of a two-year-old boy using small tools.
