TOTP fans make grab for J-Lo

She has one of the most famous - and coveted - bodies in showbusiness and for some British fans, the excitement of being within touching distance of Jennifer Lopez's bottom proved to be a little too much.

The singer caused mayhem in the Top of the Pops crowd last night, who rushed to the front of the stage during filming of her performance at BBC Television Centre.

And when they reached the specially constructed platform, some of them didn't stop there. A number of her over-enthusiastic fans began lunging at the singer in frantic bids to touch her denim-clad derri?re as she performed her latest single.

Shots of the ungainly attempts to grab the singer may be edited from the BBC show which airs tonight, but Lopez carried on smiling as she belted out her new track I'm Real. Her performance was given a roar of approval by the audience. Her new husband, choreographer Cris Judd, who stood unnoticed in the wings, did however, look a little uneasy about her fans' wandering hands.

The show was delayed by half an hour while 31-year-old J-Lo recorded an interview with Michael Parkinson in an adjacent studio in Wood Lane. One source said the interview was surprisingly candid - with J-Lo talking openly about her relationship with dancer Judd, 32, and what the source called her "indulgences". She is also to appear next week at the Top Of The Pops Awards.
