Big Brother contestants Kathreya Kasisopa and Mohamed Mohamed have narrowly escaped eviction after breaking the Channel 4 reality show’s rules.
The pair stole and ate bananas during a task in which they were banned from touching the fruit. They were told to pack their bags, but remain in the house, grovelling to Big Brother. Show favourite Kathreya has sobbed and pleaded for forgiveness.
"I am very, very sorry about what I did today," the Thai massage therapist said.
"If I have to go, I will be sad. If Mohamed has to go because of me it will break my heart even more."
Big Brother told the crying housemate: "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 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.

I agree with Sara, whats the bloody big deal they were only bananas for goodness sake! it might of been rule breaking but it was nothing major in comparison to alex and dennis... that was provoking villance this was harmless people !! wake up !! Kathreya to WIN XXX
SONIA, london,
Who cares if someone took some bloody bananas?! i think that reaction from BB, the housemates and the public to this particular rule breakage in comparison to Alexander and Dennis's behaviour is absolutely ridiculous! give people a flippin break!!!!
Sara, London,
I think big bro is great but get Darnell and Mo out!!!! dales has picked the right house mate to put in heaven. I'm glad Rex has got a week off from being put up for eviction - bless him.
Michelle, Nottingham, UK
get kat an mo out now!! they broke the rules just like dennis and alex so get them out!! if bex goes this week its a fix! luke or dale to win!!
xxxx
jade, cardiff,
Kat n Mo ate the Forbidden Fruit. The new Adam n Eve?
Come on ppl, i have seen dozens of housemates past break rules.his time around, if you break a rule such as talking about nominations, you goto jail. If you break a MAJOR rule, such as Abuse n threats, you get booted. Eating a banana that bad?
eddie, Towyn, Wales
Oh come on....who really thinks it was that a crime to eat bananas...they shouldnt be booted just for that...What about the other housemates...they have talked about eviction's and only placed in Jail...Eating n talking about eviction or who to evict are two different things....
Kate, East Sussex, East Sussex
get the little two faced, back stabbing, geek Luke out and take the loud lazy big mouth called Bex with him.
Dale is very cute but boring, stu loves himself too much, Darnel and mo are picked on too much by the heaven group.
at this moment kat to win but it will prob change in a day or two
karen, st helens, uk
i think big bro is brill i love watching it,i think that luke n bexs should get it on. and davina ur great keep it up.
sam, plymouth, devon
Lace, I agree. TV snobs love to criticise BB and those of us who enjoy watching it, yet they all seem to know what's happening in it. Funny, that.
Cath, Cardiff,
I love Kat an Mo, what they did was wrong but surely not bad enough for eviction. thankyou big bother for keeping them. and now how about punishment for those in heaven conspiring to get rid of others namely Kat and Mo
christine, doncaster, uk
Give Mo & Kat a break - Their misbehaviour is much better than seeing that horror show Rebecca showing her babs all the time. Mikey isnt being bullied by Mo - He was making the point that Hell house is going to get a lot worse.
Besides Mikeys got all the mouth when his mate Luke is bitchin.
Nat, London, UK
I really like the bloomin programme!
Remember; look at things from the outside in, and not from the inside out. <get it?> If you choose to you can understand & learn alot more...
*The people are hilarious this year... too funny and too much entertainment. Big Bro we know wot your up to!
Hannah, Croydon,
I think Mohamed should be removed,its quite clear he was threatening Mikey,threatening people is serious enough but to threaten a blind person is the lowest form of attack by a human being,get him out,also the continous talking down to Mikey by both Rex and Dale is shocking,Mikey to win.
David , Aberdeen, Scotland
big brother has got to be the best show going
n i absolutaly love danvina
im glad that kat and mo wernt evicted what what wud we do without kat making it a 'happyhouse' and mo stering things up by eating everything
im loving dale come on lad do it for da scoucers xxx
i love darnell,stu n rex to
lacey, liverpoool, england
Please evict Davina, she is so false and not at all entertaining.
Elizabeth, Ballymoney, N.Ireland
I agree, Big Brother is well past its sell-by date. It costs next to nothing to make and not much effort goes into it - an absolute waste of space. Bring back some real shows!!!
Shannon Mills, London, England
I love big brother and people who hate big brother and actually take their time to come on the website about a show they hate is just ridiculous. Why bother? If they hate it, dont come on the website to talk about "this freak show"
I HOPE KAT WINS!!!!
Lace, Southampton, England
why don,t you sad people get a life
mohammed yaqub, birmingham, uk
I think Mo should be taken out of the house after watching him tonight it was obvious that he was threatening mike saying that things are going to get very bumpy in the hell side .There is enought of that behaviour on the outside world with out having to watch it on a game show
davina , cambridge, cambridgeshire
i think it wrong that Kat and Mo have not been punished enought others go to jail or get evicted but nothing happens to them yet they had all that food in heaven and those in hell staved and yet kat had cheeck to say i was hungry . I think they should both be up for eviction,housemates not nomanate
doreen, clacton, essex
I don't know why Big Brother is still televised. Who are these people? Who votes for this freak show?
Helen, Rugby, Warwickshire
Kat and MO are just greedy they should go if not they should be made to do a task on their own to benefit the other housemates, as well as both being up for eviction by the public
