Funny noise when pedalling backwards

I have a bit of a funny noise in the crank/bottom bracket area when I spin the crank backwards. It doesn't seem to spin smoothly and sounds as though something is rubbing somewhere (although having checked I can't see where). It doesn't seem to exist when I'm pedalling but I noticed it when I was cleaning the bike recently.

Is it something to worry about or fuss over nothing?
