Katy Perry 'prayed for big boobs'

Katy Perry has reportedly claimed that she prayed to God as a child for "big boobs".

The 'Hot N Cold' singer told The Sun that even from an early age she had always wanted a large bust.

"I remember really vividly kneeling by my bed as a 9-year-old, saying my prayers and asking God to give me boobs that were so big that if I laid on my back I wouldn't be able to see my feet. Eventually, that request was granted," she said.

The star also confessed that she routinely goes through a skipping ritual before going out in public, for fear of any "wardrobe malfunctions".

She added: "Every time before I go on stage, or go out where I know there will be a lot of press, I take a skipping rope and spend about ten minutes, fully clothed, skipping.

"I look like Rocky. This way I can ensure that everything is firmly in place and I won't have a wardrobe malfunction. Don't want those boulders doing a show of their own."
