She is set to sing her new song Give Me All Your Luvin at the Super Bowl a week on Sunday.  But on Tonight’s Jay Leno show Madonna was speaking about one of her most iconic past performances.  

The singer, 53, revealed how her infamous rendition of Like A Virgin at the 1984 Video Music Awards was not all planned – in fact flashing her underwear was an accident, Daily Mail writes.

Madonna, who was looking demure in a sparkling shift dress which just below the knee and a pair of Christian Louboutin heels explained the incident.

She said: ‘Here’s what happened. I was standing at the top of a wedding cake, as one does, and I walked down these steps, which were the tiers of a wedding cake. And I lost my shoe. I lost my white stiletto. And I thought, 'Oh god, how am I gonna get that? It's over there and I'm on TV.'’

‘So I thought well, I'll just pretend I meant to do this and I dove on to the floor and I rolled around and I reached for the shoe. And as I reached for the shoe, the dress went up. And the underpants were showing.... I didn't mean to.’ Leno noted: ‘And it became the greatest night in television history.’
