Spears faces fresh "bad mum" accusations

Criticism of Britney Spears' parenting skills has continued after she was spotted nearly dropping her eight-month-old son

Photos on the front of Friday's New York Post showed the singer stumbling as she left a Manhattan hotel with Sean Preston in one hand and a glass in the other.

She apparently tripped on her trousers as bodyguards walked her to a car. She bent down and let Preston's head swing back, knocking his hat off. An assistant reacted quickly to steady the star.

The incident comes after Spears was photographed driving with her baby on her lap and accused of delaying in taking him to hospital following a fall.
