Spears sparks romance rumours with holiday dancer

Britney Spears is proving she has put her bitter custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline behind her by enjoying a fun-filled Mexican holiday.

The 'Toxic' star appeared to be enjoying herself as she sunbathed with pals on a beach in Mexico, and even sparked rumours of a budding romance after dancing intimately with a mystery man.

Spears and the unnamed male laughed and joked as they mock ballroom-danced around the pool - with the singer showing off her newly toned and tanned body as the man put her through her moves.

An onlooker tells Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "Britney looked great in her bikini. She was having a whale of a time with this bloke (man), they seemed close."

The trip comes just days after Spears agreed to a custody settlement with Federline. Federline retains full custody of their young sons Sean Preston and Jayden James, while she will pay him $20,000 (€12,704)-a-month in child support.
