BRITNEY SEXES UP

Britney Spears will help The X Factor reach a record audience tonight.

The blonde will sex up the hit show in her first UK TV appearance for five years.

Bosses expect her fans to give them a boost by tuning in for new single Womanizer during the results show.

And the steamy performance will get judge Simon Cowell, 49, hot under the collar.

The X Factor guru persuaded her to jet in after he sent her messages of support while she was in rehab.

Britney, 26, warmed up for her appearance with a show- stopping act in Germany. She sported a Madonna-style top hat, hotpants and fishnets, an outfit identical to one worn by Madge, 50, on her recent tour.

An X Factor source said: “We’ve had some big names on the show, but Britney’s outshining them all.

“We’ve never had so much interest in a guest. We hope she will attract the biggest ever audience for one of our results shows.”

The last five acts will all sing Britney’s hits tonight.

Boyband JLS are performing her debut smash …Baby One More Time.

And to celebrate they went back to school to film their own fun version of Britney’s raunchy video.

The first show will feature a recorded performance by Hannah Montana sensation Miley Cyrus, 16.

Britney will then perform in the results show, which has been scheduled against BBC1’s Match Of The Day.
