It was hardly the most heinous of crimes but in the weird world of Big Brother pinching a few bananas can land you in serious trouble.

As housemates Kathreya Kasisopa and Mohamed Mohamed found out - the cheeky pair narrowly escaped being thrown out of the series after they stole and ate some bananas which they weren't supposed to touch.

They were told to pack their bags but remained in the house after both said sorry to Big Brother - several times.

The C4 reality show favourite Kathreya sobbed and pleaded for forgiveness.

"I am very, very sorry about what I did today," she grovelled.

"If I have to go, I will be sad. If Mohamed has to go because of me it will break my heart even more," added the Thai massage therapist.

Big Brother told the crying housemate on Saturday: "Kathreya, the rules regarding the divide between Heaven and Hell were made very clear to housemates. Is there any reason you thought those rules didn't apply to you?"

Two housemates have been already been removed during the series for breaking Big Brother rules.

Alexandra De Gale was thrown out after allegedly threatening housemates with her gang connections, while Dennis McHugh was removed after spitting in Mohamed’s face during an argument.

On Friday, theatre director Belinda Harris-Reid was evicted after only two weeks in the house, when the public voted to keep chef Rex Newmark on the show.
