    You won't believe what was found in this cinema after a screening of Fifty Shades Darker

    There's nothing innocent about this.

    There's nothing innocent about this.

    Last week it was reported that cinemas were actually banning men from seeing the latest Fifty Shades of Grey film solo, incase of any inappropriate back row behaviour (don't worry, the whole thing turned out to be a joke).

    However, after this latest revelation it seems as though it's actually the female fans ushers should be keeping a closer eye on.

    Following a screening of Fifty Shades Darker at a cinema in Sydney, one poor usher stumbled across this rather unexpected item whilst cleaning the aisles.

    Yes, someone actually took a cucumber to the cinema.

    Whilst we're all for smuggling in your own snacks and popcorn to cut back on the cost, we can't help but wonder exactly what the purpose of this cucumber was whilst Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson got all hot and heavy on the big screen.

    Remember folks, in the words of a wise Anna Kendrick, 'masturbating in the back row is still considered "inappropriate."'

    Unfortunately we can't confirm if any cucumbers were harmed in the making of this story.
