He said: “As soon as I held it, I knew it was much thicker than a normal one.
“And when I opened it up there were two identical bananas side by side.
“It looked very odd.
“It’s not something you see every day although when I looked online, I read that as many as five per cent of bananas can be a double but they tend to get discarded.”
Such “double finger” bananas are perfectly safe to eat.

James, a fire and security engineer, of Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, plans to show the freaky fruit to as many people as possible so has put it in the freezer.
He added: “I’m keeping it for now so it will end up being an antique by the time I’ve decided what to do with it.”
Maybe James will come across a giant peach on his next shopping trip.
