britney spearsBritney Spears‘ manager has categorically denied rumours that the singer is pregnant with her third child.

US DJ Ryan Seacrest sparked the rumours annoucing on his radio show that a “reliable source” had told him Britney was expecting.

A source close to Ryan explained: “Ryan and Britney are friends. He wouldn’t have said something like that unless he knew the truth.”

But Britney’s manager Adam Leber has denied the story: “She’s absolutely not pregnant. I have no idea where this ridiculous rumour came from.

“Ryan has communication with our camp and could have checked this before saying it.”

Throughout her troubled year, Britney was constantly plagued by pregnancy rumours as she bounced from boyfling to rumoured boyfling but such rumours died off over the last year after she was placed under a conservatorship and concentrated on her comeback album ‘The Circus’. She is now in the middle of the accompanying tour and yesterday announced plans for a further dozen European shows after she finishes her UK dates in June.

Britney has two children, three year old Sean Preston and two year old Jayden James, from her marriage to Kevin Federline.
