Dancer blames break-up on Britney

A dancer today claimed Britney Spears played a part in the breakdown of his marriage.

A dancer today claimed Britney Spears played a part in the breakdown of his marriage.

Columbus Short, 21, was linked with the Oops, I did it Again star towards the end of last year.

Short told Star magazine: “It’s true I slept with Britney, [but] we never had sex because another person was in the room at the time.

“We shared a bed and were really close, kissing and hugging. The chemistry was magical… our feelings were so strong.”

At the time, Short’s wife was pregnant.

He went on: “It would be fair to say Britney caused major problems in our marriage. Sadly, we’re now getting divorced.”

He claimed he first became close to the 22-year-old star during her European tour last year.

Photographs later emerged of them in an embrace in California.

But Short said Spear’s mother, Lynne, stepped in to put a stop to the relationship.

He added: “Despite everything that happened, I’ll always remember those special moments with Britney.”
