Tyra Banks reveals MORE dirty habits as she revolts with toe picking and pimple popping passions
Tyra Banks has revealed some more revolting habits.
During another guest hosting appearance on Today's Jenna & Friends, Tyra, 51, admitted she loves picking out toe gunk and popping pimples.
The catwalk queen, 43, who earlier this week revealed she 'cleans' leftover crumbs on her bed by eating them, first admitted with embarrassment that she's 'getting a reputation for being a gross person!'
That, however, did not deter her from sharing her latest confession.
'I like to pick. I like the toe, and if it has some stuff in it, I don't mind digging it out,' she explained on Thursday.
'But I have a kit. You have to have a kit! You have to have a kit! So you have to have like some alcohol... you know, some stuff!'
When Jenna asked who she does this to, Tyra revealed she will pick at anyone who desires it.
'Anyone that wants it! My mom, my friends, my man, my son, and then a pimple? Like if you had a pimple... I would be staring at you,' Tyra, who has been dating Louis Bélanger-Martin for six years, said.
Tyra revealed that she struggles to contain herself at the sight of a blemish.
'I want it so bad,' Tyra said when Jenna asked what would be going through her mind upon noticing acne. 'Like I just love it. Like, Pimple Popper.... I don't watch it too much because,' she said before letting out a bizarre noise.
'It's an addiction! It's disgusting and erotic at the same time. It touches those parts of me,' she said.
'Now where do you draw the line?' Jenna asked.
'I do draw the line!' Tyra said before revealing, 'Nether regions. I'm not picking up in those! If somebody's like, 'Oh, can you check this?' I'm like, 'No, I'm not checking that.' So that's where I draw the line.' So chest up and knees down, it's on!'
'God I wish you had a pimple!' Tyra re-iterated passionately.
'I don't mind picking that... but for some reason the toe nails grosses me out,' Jenna said.
'Well sometimes they stink.... The toenail, because there's been like stuff in there, the jam,' she continued.
In the background, the crew could be heard reacting with disgust as Tyra continued describing her toenail passion.
'The toe jam is up in the nail, and then you pick, and then sometimes it's different colors. Sometimes it's brown, sometimes it's green. I mean c'mon, you guys know this!' she said.
'We needed to put on some sort of time delay, what if somebody's having their cereal!?' Jenna said.
It comes just days after Tyra revealed on the same show that she 'cleans' food crumbs leftover on her bed at her Sydney home 'by eating them.'
The supermodel-turned-presenter isn't alone either as her mother Carolyn London and nine-year-old son York Banks Asla share her odd habits of eating ice cream and popcorn in bed, and whatever remains 'a couple days later.'
'A few days if it's not super perishable,' Tyra noted while guest-hosting TODAY with Jenna & Friends on Monday.
'Like a popcorn? I mean, come on. That's like astronaut food. It just lasts forever. You just pick it up. I'm not joking.'
Gagging, Jenna asked: 'A week later you would go and eat that?'
'Yeah, if I knew it was mine in my bed, yeah,' Banks replied.
The two-time Daytime Emmy winner went on to explain that she does the same on her floor since she has a 'no shoe rule' and doesn't want 'roaches.'

'I have a no shoe rule in my home so I can eat off my floor,' Tyra stressed.
'No, but I'm serious, I do that. But then I see my son doing it and I'm like, 'Don't do that!' And he's like, 'Mama, you do it!''
On the Jenna & Friends Instagram account, users were horrified like @randirobson who commented with a nauseated emoji: 'Disgusting! Would never eat in bed and then eat the crumbs later.'
'I eat in bed all the time,' Instagram user @madijayne wrote. 'But I'm not leaving popcorn in it for a few days.'
Instagram user @desalvoshirley commented: 'No way do I want food in my bed! Yikes!'
Over on X, user @mozingo_84 posted a cringing meme.
'Wow, Tyra eating crumbs off the floor is wild,' X user @Bintmetax scoffed. 'Definitely not a pest control hack I'd try!'
X user @blackgypsy71 posted a vomit emoji and simply wrote: 'Nasty.'
The SMiZE & DREAM founder has four more days of grossing out Jenna as she is serving guest host duties all week.

Tyra is next scheduled to guest star in the August 13th episode of HGTV makeover show Celebrity IOU hosted by Property Brothers Drew and Jonathan Scott.
Last May, Entertainment Weekly reported that Banks sat down for an interview for an upcoming Netflix docuseries about the making of America's Next Top Model, which concluded in 2018 after 18 seasons.
And though he'd never admit it, RuPaul Charles has the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show catwalker to thank for the overall format of his own Emmy-winning, reality TV competition RuPaul's Drag Race.
Tyra made history in 1996 as the first African-American model to be featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue - and she returned for the covers in 1997, 2019, and 2024.
