Britney Spears delighted fans here in the UK on Tuesday (23 January) morning, with the news that she’s headlining Brighton Pride - and performing five other dates in England and Scotland this summer.

The pop superstar will bring her ‘Piece Of Me’ concert to the annual celebration on Saturday 4 August and when the announcement was made, it sent Twitter into quite a spin:

Unsurprisingly, the Brighton Pride website wasn’t quite ready for the rush though most people got there in the end…
