In a revelation that has left many stunned, a former partner of superstar DJ Calvin Harris has shared her experience of consuming her own placenta after childbirth – and even compared its taste to black pudding.
The unnamed woman, who was in a relationship with Harris over a decade ago, described the unusual practice as "surprisingly pleasant" despite its controversial nature. "It was prepared in capsule form, but I also tried it cooked," she explained. "The texture and flavour reminded me of black pudding – rich and iron-heavy."
The Growing Celebrity Placenta Trend
This confession shines a light on the increasing popularity of placenta consumption among celebrities. Stars like Kim Kardashian and Coleen Rooney have previously admitted to trying placenta pills, claiming benefits ranging from improved mood to increased energy levels.
Medical professionals, however, remain divided on the practice. While some nutritionists acknowledge potential benefits from the nutrient-rich organ, the NHS warns about potential risks if not prepared under strict hygienic conditions.
A Personal Post-Birth Choice
The former partner emphasised this was a personal decision made after careful research. "I wanted to honour the natural process and potentially gain some health benefits," she said. "It might seem extreme to some, but for me it felt like reclaiming a natural part of the birth experience that's often discarded."
Her revelation about Harris' reaction adds another layer to the story: "Calvin thought it was bizarre at first, but he respected my choice. He even joked about making it a new Scottish delicacy!"
