Britney has panic attack at Heaven

UNWELL: Britney didn't manage second performance of the night

By Dan Wootton, 01/12/2008

BRITNEY SPEARS failed to perform at London nightclub G-A-Y, reportedly after a panic attack.

During her slated X Factor performance she looked awkward, with her usual sexy dance moves nowhere to be seen.

But star still looked slim and fit, and the crowd and the judges still gave her a standing ovation.

Spanish contestant Ruth Lorenzo, who was voted off the show, defended the star, saying "She's amazing - she can mime if she likes."

But after arriving at Heaven nightclub for G-A-Y at 1.15am, the pop princess allegedly had a panic attack and was unable to take to the stage - despite 1500 fans calling her name.

My source revealed: "When Britney arrived she didn't look well and her team told staff she wouldn't be able to perform again that evening.

"It was obviously really disappointing as everyone has come to see Britney, but I guess she had her reasons.

The closest fans came to seeing their idol was a glimpse of her on the VIP balcony receiving a cake for her 27th birthday, which falls on the 2 December.

i felt very unsafe due to lack od security and passed out after being suficated by uncontrollable fans. however if britney came out and just sed hello instead of teasing crowds and getting them worked up it all would have been avoided. however did manage 2 c her when she left that was a definet highlight of the night.

If Britney didn't perform it was due to the total mismanagement of the crowd within the club that lead to it becoming dangerously overcrowded.

Blame the inept management of Heaven nightclub.
