Bizarre celebrity pregnancy cravings: Kim Kardashian's Paris cheesecake, Kate Middleton's addiction to curry
Kim Kardashian stunned fans when she revealed she flew to Paris to satisfy a pregnancy craving. During her Vogue podcast, the 35-year-old reality star, who is expecting her second child with rapper husband Kanye West admitted she was desperate for a slice of her favourite cheesecake from Hotel Costes.
Unfortunately, upon her arrival to the French capital she was devastated to learn the hotel was out of the dessert. Pleading with the hotel staff, she said: "You don't understand, I leave tomorrow and I flew all the way over here for one night, maybe two nights."
Lucky for her, staff at the establishment managed to rustle up a slice of cheesecake just for her.
Describing the treat as "heaven", Kardashian admitted she doesn't usually like cheesecake but her inner foodie had taken over. She said: "I flew in, maybe like a couple months ago, just to have a last hurrah of all the food I'm not going to be able to have for a while. And I get there and they tell me they didn't have it."
Although the reality star might be the first pregnant woman to make a trans-Atlantic flight to satisfy a craving, compared to bananas dipped in chilli sauce or a root beer float, a cheesecake is a relatively normal.
