Cilla Black: Jennifer Lopez thought I was out to steal her man

J-Lo said jealous TV legend was flirting with Cris Judd

Cilla Black was married to Bobby Willis for 30 years until his death in 1999

Cilla Black has revealed that she got into trouble with Jennifer Lopez when they met 7 years ago.

The 65-year-old TV legend bumped into the singer and her then husband Cris Judd backstage at the Royal Variety Performance.

‘I’d met Cris before when Elton John hosted my 50th birthday party and he’d hired Cris as a dancer,’ says Cilla.

‘When he saw me backstage at the show, he came over for a flirt!

‘But J-Lo saw us and started fuming! She was screaming to her entourage: “What’s that woman doing with my man! Get rid of her!” It was so funny.’

39-year-old Jennifer’s divorce from Cris, 39, was finalised in January 2003.

She is now married to Marc Anthony, 40.
