Sporting a glittering silver mini dress, Naomi turned the superstar’s stage into a runway as he sang his 2004 hit Bad girl.

Speaking during hair and make-up Naomi said: “Would you believe me if I said I’m nervous?

“Well. I’m nervous, I’m now thinking no no no.

“But it’s good having nerves, you can use it to get over the hill so to speak.”

Admitting she only said yes due to her close bond with the Love In This Clubs singer, Naomi, continued: “Why do I get talked into these things?

“I say yes and then after I’m like ‘oh no, I don’t want to do it’.

“We do things for people that we love.

“We do things for our friends that go way back.

“This is one of those moments.”

Naomi began her modelling career when she was just eight-years-old.

She went on to become the first black woman to grace the cover of Vogue France and Time magazine in America.

Her surprise appearance on stage with Usher comes less than a week after she shocked fans by popping up in Miley Cyrus’ Something Beautiful feature-film to accompany Miley’s ninth album of the same name,

Opening up about how she keeps aging at bay in her 50s, Naomi added via a now deleted Instagram Live stream: “I mean, I’m never going to look the same as before… My eyes, that’s the worst thing when your eyes start to go.

“I eat Jamaican food on the regular.

“It’s one of the healthiest along with Nigerian.”

Usher and Naomi were reported to have briefly dated back in 2004 but Usher insists they were never more than friends.

The eight-time Grammy winner previously said: “We were never a couple.

“We never dated.

“She just accompanied me to an event and is a great friend of mine who I think is a great person.”

Chatting about his current Past, Present and Future Tour, Usher said: “This Past, Present and Future story is unique.

“I have been here long enough to recognise there’s so many things that I have been able to go through and come through and there’s still the songs.

“I didn’t start this because I wanted to be the world’s greatest writer or the artist who sold the most albums.

“The show is the one thing that matters more than anything, because you can have a hit record, but can you put on a show?

“Will you shock people?

“Will you give them something to remember?

“This will be remembered.”
