BRITNEY SPEARS was last night accused of being played by a MAN in her new pop video.
The 29-year-old singer's new promo for single Till The World Ends has become the talk of the web
over suspect scenes that some eagle-eyed fans believe show a male dance double performing as her.
And one Britney fan fumed: "It's definitely not her, it's obviously a bloke.
"I can only think that she's done it because she can't dance the way that she used to. I don't think that she should use a body double like that.
"I just happened to pause the video and I saw it. I was actually quite stunned - it doesn't look much like her."
Fan forums have been swamped with theories over whether the Baby One More Time star had used dance doubles to perform some moves.
Fans reckon one clip where she throws back her hair is in fact a man in a blonde wig. Seconds later there is another sequence when she twirls round on her feet that some say looks like a different woman dressed up as the icon.
Is that you Britney? ... still from Britney Spears' new video
Britney has already faced claims she used female choreographer TIANA BROWN as a dance double for the Till The World Ends promo - directed by RAY KAY.
Theories on the internet include a suggestion Britney may have sat out some routines because of a knee injury or that she was allowed rest for the shooting of some of the scenes.
Britneyslegacy said: "It's a FACT that that isn't Britney, I noticed straight away.
"Some fans on here like to deny everything. I don't see why a body double needed to be used because she's in like one shot, and it does Britney no favours."
Accusation ... Britney Spears in video for Till The World Ends
And TheOriginalDollz added: "I usually support and back Britney up for everything but this kinda bugs me... why for two or three seconds?
"Was that part maybe a huge dance thing hard on the knee? I know Brit has knee issues maybe that is why."
Fansite Breathheavy had hundreds of posts on the subject and said followers seemed disappointed by the decision.
The site's founder wrote: "Fans seem very upset a body double was used in several dancing scenes in Brit's new music video for Till The World Ends."
Director Ray Kay has tweeted to say there's two versions of the video. As well as the main one that debuted this week there is also another version that features more dancing.
Fans will examine whether that video uses dance doubles standing in for the star.
Denial … Britney Spears has rejected previous claims that she used dance doubles
This is not the first time Britney has been dogged by rumours about using a dance double in her promos.
In February this year the singer’s representatives issued a statement denying claims another dancer had been used in the Hold It Against Me video, the first single of new album Femme Fatale.
Her spokesman said: “These accusations could not be further from the truth.
“Britney worked extremely hard on this video and rehearsed for six weeks prior to shoot.”
And the troubled star was criticised for her comeback television appearance last week where she didn’t sing live or dance rigorously in a short breakfast TV concert.
