Woman's fear of cutlery

A British woman is terrified of metal cutlery.

Zoe Ingleson, 34, has spent 17 years avoiding knives and forks at all costs - unless they are made out of plastic.

The Bradford-born mother says the phobia started after she accidentally hit a filling when she was a teenager.

Set to wed her boyfriend Phil Siewruk next year, the bride-to-be is opting for a finger buffet.

She said: "A fork might as well be a tarantula."
