American singer Jessica Simpson says she is scared of sharks and did not swim in the sea during a recent holiday on a yacht.
Simpson celebrated her 30th birthday last month in Italy where she stayed on a yacht, but she didn't go to swim in the sea because she was too afraid of what might be lurking beneath the waves.
"I had a great birthday I had most of my best friends out in Italy with me. We got to have a yacht for three days, which is so not me, but I was like, 'If I'm going to turn 30 then I'm going to live it wonderfully and have the best birthday ever.' So I did that for myself," femalefirst.co.uk quoted her as saying.
"But the best part of the yacht was not actually jumping off it because I'm terrified of sharks. Everyone was like, 'There are no sharks, there are no sharks! But all I could think of was that a shark would attack me, if there were one."
