Patrice spoke to ITV's This Morning about why she nibbles away on the walls in her home every day:
"One day I just got a knife, poked the wall, tasted it, I liked it and that's where it all started... a chalky earthy taste... I kinda got hooked on it."
She is now seeking professional help to try and kick the habit. Watch the interview in full from ITV This Morning here.
