The iconic Statue of Liberty is adored by millions around the world.
But while most appreciate what it stands for, or are in awe of its design, few would profess their undying love for it.
That is unless you are smitten Amanda Whittaker who says she has fallen head over heels for the famous New York monument.
The 27-year-old shop assistant from Leeds suffers from an unusual condition called objectum sexuality, whereby she falls in love with inanimate objects instead of people.
And speaking in the Sun on Sunday Amanda says she has installed a shrine to the landmark in her home to show her love for it and confesses to a passionate love affair with a drum kit in her teens.
She said: ‘She is my long-distance lover and I am blown away by how stunning she is.
‘Other people might be shocked to think I can have romantic feelings for an object, but I am not the same as them.’
She even says she has thought about tying the knot with ‘Libby’ as she affectionately calls it but opted not to ‘because so many others love her too’.
Amanda says she first fell in love with the monument after a friend posted a picture online of herself with the 151ft copper statue.
She has since visited the statue in person four times, where she admits to caressing it and leaning out of a window to kiss its hair.
