'I've been known to get down': Katharine McPhee unleashes sexy side as she beats out Jason Derulo on Lip Sync Battle
Katharine McPhee became a fan favourite as the clean-cut American Idol runner-up who went on to find further fame as an actress.
The 32-year-old entertainer showed a whole new, wildly sexual side of herself on Thursday with a truly steamy performances on Lip Sync Battle.
Katharine raised a shocked response from the audience as she started shaking her behind in tight black shiny pants as she danced seductively for Mystikal’s smash hit Shake It Fast, wearing a giant gold chain and pulling out dollar bills from her bra.

Then when rival competitor Jason Derulo, 26, tried to one-up her by stripping off his shirt while lip syncing to Ginuwine’s Pony, Katharine again refused to be outdone - coming right up to him and lifting her white T-shirt right up to show equally impressive abs.
But it was all just a tease for her super-charged sexual final performance with her admitting to a ‘sneak attack’ by writhing around to Jason’s own hit, Want to Want Me.
Mimicking parts of his video, she started in a bath wearing a skimpy white silk corset, soon moving over to a bed onstage even licking one of the bed’s posts seductively.
But she then shocked everyone even more by wrapping her legs around a shirtless male dancer - then straddling him on bed and finally jumping up and wrapping her legs around his head in a highly suggestive manner.

Later, she joked that she was glad husband John Legend was not at the show for once, smiling: ‘Just saying he’s not here, if you want to hang out with Katharine and I.’

‘I never win anything - I was on a show where I lost so I finally won something!’ she smiled as the winner’s boxing-style belt was strapped around her waist.
