This Morning hosts Josie Gibson and Rochelle Humes looked like they were struggling to remain professional as they interviewed a woman who claimed to eat 1,000 sheets of toilet paper a day.They were joined on the show - which is tipped for a huge makeover - by Kinah Moore, a woman originally from Baltimore in the United States, who suffers from a condition known as Pica.

Pica is an eating disorder in which sufferers compulsively eat non-edible substances. According to the NHS website, some of the most common “foods” those with the condition eat include playdough, hair, chalk and sand.

Kinah explained that she used to eat baking soda and talcum powder, but that she found it was toilet roll that gave her the most “immense joy.” Kinah, who has suffered from the condition since the age of eight, said: “I don’t know what possessed me to try toilet paper, baking soda dissolves and the toilet paper sticks.That’s why I preferred it right away.” She said that while she used to crave a variety of objects, toilet paper is now her favourite.

Kinah even likened the taste to “cotton candy” and said people “have to try it” to “understand.” The American woman explained that, thus far, she hasn’t suffered any health complications related to her Pica and does eat normal food as well as toilet paper.
