Britney Spears has reportedly proven herself to be the biggest diva ever to appear on The X Factor after snubbing the contestants and refusing to meet Simon Cowell backstage.
The singer, who appeared on Saturday night's show, also turned down the dressing room provided and instead insisted on using Simon Cowell's private green room.
Britney's minders banned Simon Cowell from chatting to the star in her room ahead of the show and the judges were forced to grab a quick photo with her in the corridor, reports The Sun.
An X Factor insider told the paper: "You have never seen so many heavies. Even around the judges' dressing rooms were sealed off by Britney's security people. When the judges went to meet her, her security wouldn't let anyone past."
Britney also shocked the show's judges by not watching the contestants' performances. Previous guests including Take That and even famous diva Mariah Carey spent time mentoring the acts but Britney didn't even watch the show backstage.
When Dermot asked her what she thought of this year's final five she said: "Yes, awesome, thank you. I met so many people, the place is beautiful."
Britney has also been criticised by viewers after miming throughout the performance of her latest single - the judges gave her a standing ovation even though other acts who have appeared on the series have sung live.

I watched x-factor again on Sunday as I missed Britney's appearance on Saturday. Honestly after watching her I thought, firstly, her performance was dreadful. It was obvious she was miming and her dancing lacked energy. Talking to Dermot at the end, she showed no interest whatsoever and I am not surprised at all by the article I have just read about her not meeting contestants, I do not know why everybody loves her so much. She is an ungrateful Diva and we can do without her!!

Posted by: mcg.jacintha on Mon Dec 01 12:37PM | Report abuseI love Britters, i'm so glad shes sorted herself, and i'm glad she acted like a diva, who really wants to meet that bunch of sour tossers called the judges anyway! None of the acts have any talent, Britney probably thought they were below her, which, isn't far from the truth!

Posted by: lisa.birch on Mon Dec 01 12:37PM | Report abuseContestants in the show have more talent than she does.
Posted by: victoria17vernon on Mon Dec 01 12:37PM | Report abuseIt was outrageous that Britney was allowed to mime when the contestants sing live every week and are subject to such scrutiny. It is double standards! The show is popular enough - it doesn't need her.
