Salma Hayek has claimed that praying to God helped increase the size of her bosom.

Talking on David Letterman's US chatshow, the actress revealed that a trip to a Mexican church helped boost her bust when she was a youngster.

Hayek said: "My mother and I stopped at a church during a road trip we were making from our home in Mexico.

"When we went inside the church, I prayed for the miracle that I wanted to happen. I put my hands in holy water and said, 'Please God, give me some breasts!'"

The Ugly Betty star added: "He [God] gave me them! Within a few months, I developed a growing spurt, as all teenagers do, and I was very pleased with the way I grew outwards."
