The Bachelor’s Alisha Aitken-Radburn has revealed some of her unusual food cravings, days after announcing she is expecting her first child with husband and former co-star Glenn Smith.
The former Labor staffer-turned-reality-star, 31, took to Instagram on Sunday to respond to a fan who asked whether she experienced any strange cravings during her first trimester.
She shared three photos demonstrating the kinds of foods she’s been lusting after – a plate of sliced lemons, waffles and cake with capers, and a glass of milk.
‘I’ve definitely skewed sour and salty over sweet so far, which to be fair is pretty standard for me not pregnant as well,’ she began her caption.
‘That first one – literally just sliced lemon with salt (so sorry to my dentist Dr Luke) – is on my rotation usually but I swear I could eat one a day at the moment and I’m restraining myself,’ she continued.

‘Pic two is my gorgeous selection at buffet brekky down south a couple of weeks ago, waffles with capers. Heaven to me right now.’
She described drinking full cups of milk as her ‘wildest’ craving yet, admitting that she has been secretly indulging in the drink at work.
‘I’ve had to start sneaking around, pouring milk into mugs at work trying to disguise it as a 3.00pm coffee so my colleagues still want to work with me,’ she mused.

Alisha elaborated on the intensity of her cravings in a separate Instagram Story post, writing: ‘On top of these I was definitely not prepared for how fixated I’d become on particular foods.’
‘If a craving hits I cannot move on with my day until I’ve fulfilled the need. Case in point – birria tacos. I saw a video of them and could not do anything else until they were in my mouth,’ she lamented.

‘I was deep into Reddit threads and using multiple apps to track my cycle. I’ve learnt so much, I just thought Glenn could sneeze and I’d be pregnant, but definitely not the case.’
Alisha added they wouldn’t be finding out the babies sex as they wanted it to be a surprise.
