Tyra Banks is opening up about her quirky way of dealing with food crumbs. During a recent appearance on Today with Jenna & Friends, the America’s Next Top Model creator confessed that her late-night snacking routine might be a little unusual.
Banks told host Jenna Bush Hager that she enjoys snacking in bed while watching TV, often joined by her mom, Carolyn London. “We do ice cream in bed. We do popcorn,” she shared.
But according to PEOPLE, Banks admitted she doesn’t actually like the crumbs left behind—leading to her surprising confession.
“Yes, but the great thing is then a couple of days later,” Banks began, prompting Hager to interject, “No, you do not!”
Banks then explained, “A couple of days later, you get down there and I clean crumbs by eating them. Because if you put it in the trash, it’s gonna get roaches or something. So you just clean it up with your finger. Or you just eat it.”
There’s seemingly no strict time limit for Tyra Banks when it comes to eating crumbs out of her bed. The former Sports Illustrated cover star says she’s perfectly fine eating food that’s been sitting around for a few days.
“A few days if it’s not super perishable. Like popcorn? I mean, come on,” Banks said. “That’s like astronaut food. It just lasts forever. You just pick it up. I’m not joking.”
The confession prompted the Today host to ask what Banks does when crumbs land on the floor instead. Her answer? The same thing, thanks to her home’s “no-shoe rule.”
“If it’s on your ground! That’s your feet. I can eat off my floor. No, but I’m serious, I do that. But then I see my son [York] doing it and I’m like, ‘Don’t do that!’ And he’s like, ‘But you do it,’” she admitted.
Banks is co-hosting the fourth hour of Today all week, through August 1.
