And finally… chomp at the brick

And finally... chomp at the brick

A woman has opened up about her strange addiction to eating bricks after getting hooked on the ‘chalky’ taste when she was a teenager.

Patrice Benjamin-Ramgoolam from London appeared on ITV’s This Morning yesterday, ten years after she first spoke her obsession on the show.

The 38-year-old used to eat up to six tablespoons of brick a day after she got hooked on the chalky flavours when she was a teenager.

Ten years on from when Patrice was in the depths of her addiction, she still has a taste for the material, but does not eat it.



She joined expert Dr Elizabeth Shea on the show to unpack the unusual addiction.
