It was a very different kind of touch down.

Justin Bieber put his heart and soul into singing Fergie‘s hit Big Girls Don’t Cry, while battling former pro football player Deion Sanders in an upcoming episode of Spike's Lip Sync Battle.

But the 21-year-old nearly got more than he bargained for when he danced over to the 6ft 1ins athlete-turned-sports commentator and caressed his face as he sang the last line of the song.

Deion, who was sitting next to co-host LLCool J at a bar on the set, jumped up off his stool and glared at the hitmaker.

At a burly 6ft 1in, he towered over the 5ft 9ins hitmaker - but it was all for fun.

Justin and Deion, who is now an analyst for CBS Sports and the NFL Network, were soon good pals again.

In the same episode, due to air on Thursday, Justin also dressed up in full  Ozzy Osbourne gear, including make-up and a wig to sing his 1980 hit Crazy Train.

Even Justin's fans, dubbed Beliebers, would have had trouble recognising him. 

Show co-host Chrissy Teigen, 29, is presently in New York for Monday's Lip Sync Battle Comes To Summer Stage event.

The former model was singing along in the background during the pre-recorded Bieber episode.

She told People: 'I'm excited to see Justin's episode because in real life I was pretty blown away by him.'

Justin and Deion's Lip Sync Battle will air on Spike on Thursday on Spike.
