Timberlake: 'I dropped robe for Beyoncé'

Justin Timberlake has admitted that he dropped his robe in front of Beyoncé before they appeared together on Saturday Night Live.

The 'Sexy Back' singer starred as Beyoncé's backing dancer in a skit that saw him wearing a leotard and dancing to her hit track 'Single Ladies'.

Speaking to CBS's Katie Couric, he revealed that Beyoncé was so nervous beforehand that he entered her dressing room wearing a robe covering his leotard, before dropping the robe and staring into space.

When asked what her response was, he replied: "I can't look anywhere but your face right now."

Last year, Beyoncé discussed the singer with Ellen DeGeneres, saying: "I just can't believe how hilarious he is.

"He showed up. He had his leotard and his pumps and his robe, and he opened it up... just letting it all hang out. I'm like, 'OK, Justin ...' Why are his legs more beautiful than any woman's?"
