Pop star Fergie is relieved her tight rubber trousers stayed in one piece as she performed a "one-handed walkover" during the taping of charity show Idol Gives Back on Sunday night.
 
The Black Eyed Peas star wowed the audience at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre by performing the one-handed cartwheel during a performance with rockers Heart.

But she was worried thousands would see more than she wanted them to. She says: "Luckily there were no wardrobe malfunctions."

Fergie is surprised her gymnastics during the rendition of Heart's classic Barracuda has created such a fuss - because she has been performing the move for months.

She explains: "I went through years of gymnastics and I wanted to be a gymnast at one time... I was in a show with will.i.am... and he pulled out this breakdancing move... and I didn't know what to do because I didn't know any breakdancing moves.

"So I was like, 'OK, I'll just pull out some of my old school moves.'

"Fans loved it and so I've been putting it in my show and I actually do Barracuda in my set because I sang it for the Shrek 3 soundtrack, so that's when I do it."
