Chrissy Teigen pregnancy cravings

Look – I get her.

When I was pregnant, on both my babies, I literally craved the same three things: Watermelon – all day, every day. And Caesar salads – but it had to be the one from TGI Fridays. I know – bizarre.

And last, but not least – sour worms.

Seriously – it was only those three things that did anything for me when I was pregnant, but my God, did I have to have them – on a daily – and in the case of the sour worms, hourly – basis.

And so when I read recently that Chrissy Teigen’s #1 pregnancy craving is sour sweets, I must admit I felt a little connection to her.

Especially when I read about her issues that came as a result of her mad sour sweets obsession – and really related.

According to videos shared on her Instagram, the 34-year-old has eaten so much sour candy that she burnt the skin on her tongue and it peeled off.

Yep, this can happen.

The mum-of-two shared a video to her Instagram stories, where she gave her millions of followers a glimpse of her red and flaky tongue:

“Eating so much sour candy that my tongue is falling off,” she said before warning squeamish people to click out of the window before she held up what looked like a piece of skin.

Then she stuck out her tongue to show it all mottled and discoloured, and maybe even peeling.

Teigen admitted her sour sweets habit is worst at night. Which, interestingly, so was mine!

“It’s literally falling off because I eat so much in the night,” she explained. “I eat sour straws, I suck on them. Then after I have them, I have my Blow Pops and it’s just falling off… my tongue.”
