This woman has a squeeky clean pregnancy craving

Los Angeles - A pregnant woman can't stop eating soap.

Jess Gayford, a mother-of-one from Bristol in south-west England has become addicted to munching the cleanly product since becoming pregnant for the second time, and regularly consumes two bottles of handwash each week.

The 26-year-old, who is eight months pregnant, confessed the unlikely craving "came out of nowhere" when she suddenly had the urge to "lick a bar of Dove soap".

She told DailyMail: "I went to buy a bar and started licking it. It sounds disgusting but it's really nice."
