A pub waitress with a severe phobia of ketchup has opened up about how the red sauce can leave her in tears and a state of panic if she sees, smells or touches it. Charlie Everett, 18, has no idea where her phobia came from, but claims it's been a fear for as long as she can remember.
Just being near a bottle of the stuff can make Charlie "feel weird" and she often has to leave an area if someone is eating it. The teenager has admitted she's never actually tried the famous condiment but says she "never will" as the smell alone is enough to put her off.
