A source close to the star told the UK paper: "She's very angry that it has come out like this. She's shocked because the pregnancy is the last thing she needs right now.

"She had a scan last month and only told close friends the result. Even her family were out of the loop."

Britney had a fling after a wild night out in LA as her bitter divorce battle with K-FED dragged on.

A US magazine reported that her on-off boyfriend JR ROTEM had confirmed the baby rumors but Britney said the story was "bull****" and "completely fake".

"It doesn't look good, does it? She loses Sean and Jayden and then has a dalliance with someone she hardly knows.

"Brit misses her kids like hell and really wants a cute little girl, but this has happened very suddenly.

"She gets lonely and needs male attention, so she goes and does silly things. This is a perfect example."
