TV star Tori Spelling has confessed she doesn’t drink water and compared herself to a “cacti” – admitting she also struggles with an “irrational” fear that she’s going to be poisoned.

The former ‘Beverly Hills 90210’ star, 51, has confessed she has an “aversion” to the drink and does everything she can to avoid it – revealing she opts for coconut water or soda instead and joking she’s like a “cacti”.
During an appearance on her ‘MisSPELLING’ podcast, she explained: “I don’t drink water. And when I say I don’t drink water, I don’t drink water.
“How I’m still living, no one knows. I’m like a cacti. Just water me once in a while, and I somehow survive. But I have an aversion to it.”
She added: “I’m trying this new thing since I don’t like water. I’m like, okay, I actually enjoy the taste of coconut water.
“I can guzzle, like, a glass of wine in, like, two seconds. No problem. But I take a few sips of water and swallow gently, and all of a sudden, I’m like, ‘I wanna puke.’ “
Tori – who is mom to five children with her ex Dean McDermott – went on to admit she did try drinking water during her pregnancies but it was tough.
She said: “[I tried] because you have to hydrate the baby growing in you. But in my mind, I was like: ‘I’m drinking for them, not myself’.”
The TV star also confessed she struggles with an “irrational” fear of being poisoned whenever someone hands her a drink -which baffled her ex Dean – and she joked it stems from her late father Aaron Spelling’s dramatic TV shows.
She explained: “I’m Aaron Spelling’s daughter, hello. The creator of drama-rama storytelling …
“[Dean said] ‘You’re the mother of my children. Why would I want to poison you?’ And I was like: ‘Listen. It’s not personal. I think this about everybody.’ “
However, Tori is convinced the fear does stem from her childhood when her mom Candy would attempt to get her to take medicine by hiding it in a drink.
She said: “I would say: ‘What’d you put in here? Like, what are you giving me?’ And she would say the same thing: ‘What, you think I’m trying to poison you?’ ”
“This goes back to childhood. This crazy, irrational fear of handed over liquids from other people. I don’t drink water. I don’t call it a fear of water. I just like to say I hate water. I have an allergy to water.”
