Britney Spears' comeback 'put on hold'

Britney Spears' comeback has reportedly been put on hold.

The 42-year-old pop star has been working on a long-awaited comeback to the music scene - but those plans have slowed down over recent weeks, as Britney's inner circle try to prioritise her "wellbeing".

A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "The team have been working on exciting plans but her wellbeing is in the front of their minds, and no one wants to rush."

Britney recently revealed that she's currently nursing a sprained ankle after she "fell and embarrassed" herself at a hotel in Los Angeles.

The pop star also rubbished claims that she was involved in a bust-up with rumoured boyfriend, Paul Richard Soliz.

In an Instagram video, Britney explained: "I really twisted my ankle last night like an idiot - just to show proof. It’s so bad ... Idiot here tries to do a leap in the living room of the Chateau and I fell - embarrassed myself - and that’s it.

"Paramedics came to my door immediately. Of course, caused this huge scene, which was so unnecessary and all I needed was ice.

"It is actually pretty bad but [stuff] happens."

Meanwhile, Britney previously slammed suggestions that she was poised to return to the music industry.

The chart-topping pop star wrote on Instagram: "I will never return to the music industry !!!

"When I write, I write for fun or I write for other people !!!

"For those of you who have read my book, there’s loads that you don’t know about me … I’ve written over 20 songs for other people the past two years !!! I’m a ghostwriter and I honestly enjoy it that way !!! (sic)"
