Lizard banana

1 month ago 28th Jun 13:15

A British woman was left terrified after she found a lizard in her bag of bananas.

Sharon Bell - who shrieked in horror as the lizard leapt into her hand - recalled: "I screamed so loudly, I really freaked out, my kids thought I'd had a mild heart attack.

"I threw my hand up and he ran back into the bag. I then had to get a neighbour to come and get him."

The lizard was alive and well despite its long journey, believed to be from Costa Rica to the Tesco store in Colchester, Essex.

I screamed so loudly, I really freaked out, my kids thought I'd had a mild heart attack.

A Tesco spokesman apologised and said: "Despite all the expertise, checks and will in the world, it is not always possible to completely legislate for the natural world."
