She refused to get involved with his antics live on the show like other stars did and requested that their conversation be pre-recorded.
speaking to Huff PostThey said, ‘She (Aguilera) sat there with her glasses on, and she wouldn’t take them off. It was a prerecorded interview, because she didn’t want to do it live.

Everything indicated that it would be a bad interview. And it turned out to be a bad interview.
It comes after Ant and Dec admitted that they once hosted an episode of SMTV: Live after a wild night.
The presenting duo confessed that when they presented the ITV show on Millennium, they had come on the air after celebrating the New Year in Newcastle.
ant said glamor magazine: ‘We never drank on a Friday night! One year we did it, that was the millennium.
We were airborne the next morning. We were in Newcastle so we drove overnight and went on the air live, slightly worse. That was the only time.
Luckily, Ant and Dec hosted that very spectacle from a bed on set, with Cat poking fun at the fact that most of the nation had been celebrating the night before.
