Brit - who has kids Sean Preston, 10, and Jayden, nine, with her ex Kevin Federline - called time on her relationship with her boyfriend of eight months, Charlie Ebersoland, in June 2015.

Now she’s opened up in an interview with October’s issue of Marie Claire about the stress attached to dating when you’re a single mum and insisted fame has no impact on whether the other person likes you.

Recalling a recent awkward date, Britney, 34, said: ‘I had a really bad date. I mean, it was bad. I’ve been single for ages and had a date with a guy I liked. I was getting anxious, worrying he wouldn’t like me.’

She added: ‘In the evening I got on the scales and I had lost six pounds. We went to the movies but I could tell right away it wasn’t working. It was sort of awkward. So after the movie I came home and that was it.’

‘It just didn’t work. He just wasn’t that into me. I liked him. He knew that.“But he definitely didn’t feel the same. It happens to everybody. Being famous doesn’t make you any different.’

The Make Me hitmaker has credited her sons for helping her to overcome anxiety, which many stars - including Justin Bieber, Zayn Malik and Ellie Goulding - have admitted they suffer from.

She said: ‘Southern girls can be very hard on themselves because you are expected to act in a certain way, you are expected to please people.

“And then I moved to Los Angeles when I was very young. I was so under scrutiny. If a hair was out of place, I’d be so anxious. I would get very anxious about so many things.

"Becoming a mother and being with my boys has made me so much more accepting of myself. I’m their mom, whatever. That has been a really big thing for me over these last few years.’
