A PATHETIC mother has admitted sniffing 12 cans of lighter fuel A DAY in front of her distraught children.
Jobless Sindy also inhaled solvents and downed ten cans of Stella lager a day for 20 YEARS.
She appeared on ITV1's Jeremy Kyle Show to answer claims from her two children that she is hooked on lighter gas and booze.
Sindy - whose age and address were not revealed - openly inhaled the gas while raising son Aaron and daughter Stacey.
Pregnant mum-of-one Stacey told how she feared Sindy would die before her second grandchild is born.
The studio audience watched in shock as pre-recorded footage of Sindy at her home was played.
Sporting a black eye, she was seen clutching a can of gas while talking to the show's psychiatrist. She regularly lifted it to her mouth. The camera panned away when she inhaled but the sound could still be heard.
She admitted: "I've been doing it for twenty years. I buy in bulk twelve cans at a time. Without it I get very aggressive. It chills me out."
After being told butane gas abuse can kill, she said: "I'm quite lucky.
But she revealed: "I get really bad headaches and lumps on and inside my head that come and go that might explode." She told how she once almost blew herself up by lighting a cigarette at the same time as breathing in the toxic fumes.
And she admitted getting through a "bumper pack" of solvent a day.
In the studio, Aaron also told of Sindy's daily intake of Stella Artois lager. He said: "She would drink ten cans, fall asleep, then wake up and start drinking again.
"I wouldn't say she's a mum. I'm embarrassed to say she's my mother. She doesn't clean or cook, she's not capable of doing anything."
Stacey wept as Sindy was brought on stage and pledged she would change her ways.
Host Jeremy called the case - screened on Wednesday - "one of the most horrific stories I've ever done".
A show source said Sindy had since checked into rehab.
They added: "It is an addiction that she has lived with for two decades. Going on television means it is something that she cannot hide from."
