She once sang about being Jenny from the block.
Footage which she probably thought would never come back to haunt her, until last night that is.
Scroll down for the video...
Promotional blitz, The singer, Jennifer Lopez was plugging her album Love? which is not expected to chart particularly highly in the U.S. tomorrow
The singer and actress was appearing on the chat show to talk about her new - and seventh - album Love?
But Leno turned the conversation around to her time as a backing dancer and that’s when he played the footage.
Taken at the 1991 American Music Awards, J-Lo can be seen dancing enthusiastically behind the five-piece boyband, who were then at the height of their fame.

But while she has gone on to became a world-famous superstar, back then she was a little known backing dancer, aged just 22, and the gig with NKOTB was her first ever dance job in the US.

She spoke about it Leno and said: ’My first job was in Europe which was a big deal and then when I came back I got a job as a backing dancer for the New Kids On The Block.
’I got this job dancing for them on the American Music Awards and it was a big deal. That was a long time ago.’
Blast from the past, Jennifer Lopez squealed with embarrassment as she was forced to watch herself in her first ever dancing job in 1991

Then Leno announced that he had the footage of the performance and Jennifer was forced to watch with her face in her hands and she screamed when she first saw herself and laughed the way through it.
Jennifer was mainly on the show to talk about her new album and opted for a rather attention-grabbing dress.
The 41-year-old American Idol judge slipped into a revealing, low-cut white fairy dress for her appearance on the Tonight Show.

Is that really me? Jennifer Lopez is forced to watch before she laughs along with her host While her album has already bagged No.6 in the UK this weekend, the singer is yet to chart on the American Billboard 200 album chart, which is revealed on Tuesday.
And according to early indications, the singer is only expected to shift 60,000 copies this week in the U.S. - a lacklustre number for the American market.
If she got closer to the 250,000 mark she could well secure herself a No.1 - but her current sales are nothing to sing about.

And the album already has a troubled history - it was originally due for release in January 2010, but when her lead single Louboutins flopped, Lopez and Sony Music parted ways.
J-Lo later signed with Def Jam, which saw Love resurrected and the new lead hit, On The Floor, was received well, having shifted around 1.6m downloads.
It secured the No.1 spot in the British charts and No.5 on the Billboard Hot 100.
