Ciara 'Justin Timberlake Cracks Me Up'

Ciara says it was Justin Timberlake who relaxed her ahead of a big TV performance, as he kept telling jokes.

The pair collaborated together on Saturday Night Live for a performance of their single 'Love Sex Magic', but the R&B singer was feeling the nerves of her first appearance on the show.

"My heart was beating so fast," Ciara told People. "Everything is so fast-moving there. You just start freaking out."

"Before I went on, he [Justin]made me laugh, which made things light and not so serious. It just felt like, 'We're gonna have a good time.' We had a lot of fun. We're silly together."

But it seems the nerves were worth it, Ciara describes the performance as "one of the experiences that will go down in my book as one of the most fun experiences I've ever had."

"Absolutely." She adds about Timberlake. "He cracks me up."

Ciara also recently spoke of their video shoot for 'Love Sex Magic', which was intense the two licked each other for real.
