ENGLAND flop Raheem Sterling flaunted his millionaire wealth — in a video posted just hours after arriving home in disgrace after being dumped out of Euro 2016 by Iceland.
The £49 million Manchester City winger laughed as he took pals on a Through The Keyhole-style tour of a luxury mansion — boasting about it having a crystal-encrusted bathroom sink.
The 21-year-old — who infuriated Three Lions fans with a string of below par performances in France — landed in Luton at around 6pm on Monday after being sent packing by the minnows in the second round.
But a pal posted the video of the pampered star — still wearing his England national team polo shirt — who was only interested in bragging about a fleet of luxury cars and the extravagant mansion.
Former Liverpool player Sterling smiled as his friends first videoed a luxury £100,000 Range Rover 4×4 before filming another luxury motor on the gravelled drive.
It then switches to a smiling Sterling as he strolls into a posh bathroom fitted with a diamond encrusted sink and laughs: “We don’t want you to be having the shitty crystal piece baby.”
He continues to mockingly giggle before a pal, who is also filming on his phone, adds: “It’s for inspirational purposes.”
In the next clip as the group move into a darkened cinema room a male voice can be heard saying: “And now we’ve got the cinema room.”
While a friend is overheard saying: “They don’t want you to have the cinema and the lights and s***.”
The group then move back outside to the fleet of sports cars in another clip, captioned “My team winning” with a smiling emoticon, as the person filming says: “Ferrari. Got the big daddy Rangey.”
The video was posted on Snapchat by a pal of Sterling, who he regularly refers to as his “brother”.
Videos only stay on the social media platform for 24 hours from when they were posted.
Last night furious England fans called for Sterling to be dropped from the England team as it emerged he has already left the country for a sunshine break.
Nick Kay, 32, of Stockport, Cheshire, said: “This just proves what everyone thinks -- that these guys care more about how much money they have in the bank than how England does.
“They should rename the national team Bling-erland. Any normal person would hang their heads in shame after how they performed in France but these guys come home and show off about how rich they are.”
Richard Smith, 39, of Canterbury, said: “Football fans across England are in mourning and he’s showing off a diamond encrusted bathroom.
“Some fans will never forgive him for this.
“It’s a disgrace.”
The video featuring Sterling mimics “They Don’t Want Me To” footage posted online by DJ Khaled, an American DJ who regularly posts videos flaunting his wealth online.
Sterling labelled himself “The Hated One” after England fans moaned about his abject performance in the first Euro 2016 group game against Russia.
A photo posted to Sterling’s 1.8million Instagram followers showed Stade Velodrome with a message from Sterling feeling sorry for himself.
The £50 million Man City star wrote: “Really unlucky today, on a good team performance really deserved the win, but we go again.
“Proud of all the boys #England #raheemsterling #TheHatedOne.”
That met a barrage of abuse from the Three Lions faithful.
One person wrote: “You should retire from football.”

User @nickyadamsafc posted: “You was absolutely awful so stop talking crap about positives, the only positive will be you getting dropped.”
Another fumed: “You’re s**t. Learn how to pass and cross the ball.”
And one user said: “The hated one, haha he f****** is, waste of spot on the squad, should have brought Townsend.”
Sterling grew up on a tough council estate near Wembley, North London, and signed for Queen’s Park Rangers as a schoolboy before being snapped up by Liverpool for just £600,000.
His meteoric rise culminated in him making his debut at 17 years old when he was picked to start against Sweden in a World Cup qualifier in November 2014.
But it took almost 18 months before he earned his second cap in a game where he was named man of the match as the Three Lions beat Denmark 1-0 in a friendly in March 2014.
He was selected as part of Roy Hodgson’s 23-man World Cup squad in Brazil but was sent off in a pre-tournament friendly following a spat with Manchester United winger Antonio Valencia.
He only started one match during England’s miserable campaign, where they failed to qualify from the group stages, against Italy in a 2-1 defeat.
Sterling bagged his first senior goal for England in a 4-0 thumping against Lithuania last year and has since gone on to earn 26 caps.
However, his selection in the team’s starting line-up came under fire from pundits and fans after dismal displays against Russia and Wales.
Sterling purchased a £3.5 million mansion in Wilmslow, Cheshire, after moving to City last summer in a £180,000-a-week deal.
The house boasts six bedrooms, four reception rooms, six bathrooms, a 30ft swimming pool, cinema room and a triple garage to house his luxury motors and he counts former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson among his neighbours.
Sterling moved into the plush gated property which is nestled on a private road with girlfriend Paige Lee Hansel, 20, before Christmas.
It is not thought to be the home featured in the video.
Sterling is also in the process of selling a £1.3 million mansion in Southport, Merseyside, where he lived while playing for Liverpool.
Last year he was also filmed apparently taking legal high nitrous oxide, also known as hippy crack, on two occasions.
