Spears: Oops, he did it again . . .

- — Bang! Showbiz

Britney Spears admits her Carpool Karaoke segment was “awkward”. The 34-year-old singer said she was uncomforta­ble with the song choices host James Corden made and she also found it strange to find herself singing along to her own tunes in a car while people wandered by.

Speaking to 103.5 KTU, she said: “Well he controlled the whole thing, and sometimes I got on to him and said, ‘I don’t want to hear that song again’. They didn’t show that part. The pair sang along to Spears’ hits

Hit Me Baby One More Time and Oops! I Did It Again.

“Oh my God, and he kept playing them. He put a wig on for it. Yeah, I totally went along with it.

“It was a little awkward, like, driving by grocery stores. People walk by and there are like 18 cameras around us. This is just so awkward.”

However, despite her reservatio­ns, Spears insisted she had fun.

“Carpool Karaoke was really fun. The guy was just so incredibly sweet.

“I had no idea he has kids, he’s a teddy bear. I was like, ‘ I just want to hug you right now.”’

And Spears even recreated her iconic Baby One More Time video, by donning her infamous school uniform as she belted out the hit.

Corden got involved too, opting for a similar outfit, complete with a blonde wig.

The Piece of Me hitmaker also revealed she is “done” with men and no longer believes in marriage. Spears — who was married to Jason Alexander for less than three days in 2004 and was also married to Kevin Federline — said: “I might French kiss someone but . . . I don’t believe in marriage anymore.”
