Salma Hayek has overcome her technophobia - with the help of her husband.

The actress couldn't get to grips with computers for years but now her businessman spouse Francois-henri Pinault has taught her how to log on.

She said: "I just learned how to use the computer last week.

"My husband's been begging me to learn to do it, it just makes life easier. I've been resistant to it but he tricked me."

Salma's husband got her using the new Apple iPad by showing her a digitised version of her favourite game - numbers challenge Sudoku.

The 43-year-old star - who has a two-year-old daughter, Valentina, with Francois-Henri - added: "I love Sudoku. He said, 'Look at this iPad, you can play Sudoku here.' So I started doing the Sudoku and learning the other stuff. I'm getting into it now. This is my favourite thing at the moment."
