Hollywood A-lister Salma Hayek has opened up on her slim figure secret, revealing she snacks on grasshoppers, ants and worms when feeling a little peckish. Calling the grilled bugs ‘delicious', Salma  told how she developed her love of insects growing up.

In Mexico,  where creepy-crawlies are often considered delicacies. ‘These little ants fried are amazing with a little guacamole,' she announced to an astonished audience as she appeared on America's David Letterman show.

‘And the worms, there are many different recipes for those. The little grasshoppers have a smoky flavour to them. ‘It's the way they cook them, and it's really good.' She added even talking about the suspicious snacks was making her hungry. ‘Look, I'm salivating! They're delicious,' she added.

We're not sure we can see this one catching on! But despite her adventurous diet, Salma revealed she's terrified of snakes. Just last month she hilariously leapt on top of her chair during a live, outdoor interview after spotting one slithering around on set.
