This is the horrifying moment rioters livestream themselves burning down a house on TikTok - as the Northern Irish town of Balleymena braces itself for a third night of carnage.

Footage shared on social media shows thugs giggling as they torch a residential home after smashing the windows and breaking in.

The person behind the camera tells viewers to 'rack them gifts up, boys, rack them up' as he begs for likes and follows in front of the burning building.

At one point, as flames lick the front window of the family home, he gloats 'I've got 2.6k views lad', The Telegraph reports. Gifts on TikTok can be converted into money for the content creator.

Masked thugs break apart wooden pallets and add them to the blaze already raging in the doorway.
