A US woman has gone on television to reveal her secret addiction to eating couch cushion.
Adele said she started eating couch cushion after she tried her first bite at the age of 10 and his since eaten a total of seven couches and two chairs.
Appearing on The Learning Channel show My Strange Addiction, Adele (last name not given) said she loved the taste of cushion ever since her cousin dared her to try it when they were children.
"I do only eat cushion in private, I'll go in the bathroom, go in my room or something and just eat it," Adele said.
Adele said she would eat a piece of cushion 20cm-by-30cm on a daily basis.
"I'll just take little bite size pieces and snack on it all day," she said.
"Sometimes I just go on like a binge where I'll just keep going for like 20, 25 minutes straight of just eating cushion."
Adele, who began eating furniture around the time her parents divorced, said she loved the flavour.
"I love couch cushion, the way it sits in my mouth, its soft and it’s a good taste," she said.
In her lifetime Adele estimates has eaten more than 90kg of couch cushion.
