7 Jan 2013 6:25 AM IST
The BBC has gone bananas - and banned the humble fruit at its new 1 billion pound headquarters after a staffer warned the fruit could kill her.
Posters have been put up warning colleagues not to eat them at work. The ban was requested by a journalist who said she could suffer a fatal reaction if she came into contact with a banana, the Sun reported.
Workers at the BBC's new HQ in London decided to hang up posters of a banana with a giant cross through it.
It means staff are forbidden from unpeeling or consuming the fruit anywhere near others, the report said.
A BBC spokesman said: ‘The posters were put up for a colleague who has a strong medical sensitivity.’
