SYDNEY – Teen heartthrob Justin Bieber was Thursday told to clean up his mess after the pop star was accused of spraying graffiti on the wall of an Australian hotel.

Furious Gold Coast mayor Tom Tate said the Canadian had been disrespectful and “really, really silly,” and sent a graffiti removal kit to the exclusive QT Hotel on the Sunshine Coast so he could repair the damage.

“If a normal person did that they’d be serving 80 to 100 hours of community service,” Tate told the Nine Network.

“Just come and clean it up and we’ll be happy with you.”

In a separate interview in the Brisbane Courier-Mail, Tate said: “We’ve all been young once. But by the sounds of it, he’s gone and done something really, really silly.”

“But he’s got an opportunity to make good … I urge him to treat this city the way Gold Coast fans treat him.”

Bieber’s handiwork includes a Pacman ghost, which was reportedly painted in the early hours of Wednesday morning after the star’s sell-out Brisbane show.

Pictures of the graffiti were posted online, including on Instagram, with reports saying Bieber and his entourage left the cans of spray paint behind for staff to clean up.

Bieber was believed to have left the hotel for Sydney, where he performs later Friday and Saturday, with Tate demanding he return.

“I know he’s got beautiful eyes. I’ve got some goggles for him, and some gloves because I know he doesn’t want to get his hands dirty,” he said.

“Do your business in Sydney and come on back and I’ll give you a chance to clean it up.”
