A pregnant lady in the UK suffers from a bizarre eating disorder - she feels compelled to eat furniture polish at least three times a day

Seven-months pregnant Emma has already gone through three cans - despite her fears she may be harming her unborn baby girl, reports the Sun.

Emma - who has been diagnosed with Pica, a rare disorder which sees sufferers crave non-food items - said: "I can''t explain why I like it so much. I think it has a lot to do with the texture. I normally spray a bit on my fingers and lick it off or spray it on the duster and suck."

Emma, from Birmingham, first became obsessed with sniffing furniture polish when pregnant with her first child - daughter Darcie, now 11 months.

She and boyfriend Gavin Wallis, 27, are reportedly desperate for her to give up her habit.
