Britney SpearsBritney Spears performed in the UK for the first time in years last night on ITV1’s The X Factor.

After the show’s remaining contestants had sung their versions of Britney’s biggest hits, the star performed her new single ‘Womanizer’ and received a standing ovation from the talent show judges, despite miming and spending a lot of time walking back and forth around the wide stage.

‘Womanizer’ is the first single from her new album ‘Circus’, which is released in the UK tomorrow.
