She sparked fears for her wellbeing as she dramatically walked out of filming at the X Factor.

And now, it has been reported that American pop princess is suffering from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, but is unable to take medication for it.

There have been several incidents where the 30-year-old singer, abruptly left the judging panel - and her co-stars, Simon Cowell, Demi Lovato and LA Reid.



On her first day of filming as a new judge on the X Factor USA in Austin, Texas, last month, Miss Spears, who is on a £10million deal, walked off the set twice.

She then provided yet more drama as she snapped at music millionaire Cowell, 52, during the auditions as he sniped at one contest, telling him: ‘You are so rude, Simon.’

A source told US website Radar online: ‘Britney was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in her teens and used to take medication for it.

‘The medication helped her deal with it, however, she can't take it now because it interferes with the other medications she takes for her mental health issues.

The source added: ‘Simon was made fully aware of Britney's medical history before the contract was signed, so this certainly isn't a big surprise that she needs to take breaks during the audition process.

‘Look, Britney basically has the attention span of a 10-year-old at times. It's not alarming to Simon at all and he is fully supportive of Britney doing whatever she needs to do during filming.’
