Spear’s snub to X Factor hopefuls

Britney Spears sang her latest hit on the X Factor stage during her first British television performance in four years.

The pop singer, who turns 27 on Tuesday, mimed her way through her latest single, Womanizer, after the five remaining finalists each covered a Britney track.

Spears, who was dressed all in black, with hotpants, fishnet tights and knee-high boots, did not coach the show’s contestants, as previous guests have done.
