Jennifer Hudson spooked by spiders

Jennifer Hudson is too afraid of spiders to even walk past one.

The 33-year-old singer-and-actress might come across as feisty and fearless to her fans, but there is one thing she is completely scared of.

"I'm terrified of spiders," she shuddered to People magazine.

"I normally go through the side door of my house, but the other day I couldn't. You think you can just run right by it, but no, this spider was the size of the palm of my hand! Just thinking about it I'm cringing."

Alongside her career, Jennifer raises five-year-old David with her fiancé David Otunga. Although she deserves a treat, the star reins in her spending.

"I almost bought a Ferrari!" she shared.

"I went to a car dealership and drove it and everything. Then I was like, 'You don't even really drive, why would you spend all this money on a car?' But in my mind, I bought it."

Luckily her beau David treats her to special things. Jennifer recalled the last thing he gifted her - personalised charm bracelets for her birthday in September. And her little boy is constantly showering her with affection, too.

"Oh, my baby says [I love you] all the time," she grinned.

"I was gone for a few days for the album, and that night he's just squeezing me and giving me the biggest hugs. He told me he missed me and loved me over and over again."
