Meet mother of four, Jackie Wright, whose bizarre fear means she is terrified of HOLES. For most people, having a shower in the morning is an easy task - but it sends Jackie, 45, into a cold sweat. The part time check out assistant is so petrified of clusters of holes that even the thought of holding a sponge sends a shiver down her spine - and she is forced to flee the shower if she spots any bubbles floating in the plug hole. Jackie from Wallsend, Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, suffers from Trypophobia, a fear of holes that leaves her literally pulling her hair out.
