Avril Lavigne reveals Aguilera snub

Avril Lavigne has admitted that she was once snubbed by Christina Aguilera when she introduced herself to the singer.

The 'What The Hell' star revealed details of her encounter with Aguilera during an interview on the ITV2 Brit Awards afterparty show.

Will Young - who presented an award alongside Lavigne - commented on Boy George being a fan of the Canadian singer, prompting her to comment: "He was super nice, unlike Christina Aguilera, who was really mean to me when I said hi to her."

She continued: "You know what, I said to my friends, 'I'm gonna go over to Boy George and hopefully he won't pull a Christina on me.'"

Pressed for details about the incident, she added: "We're labelmates, and I presumed as we also have the same manager... I remember going over - and I'm a very shy and introverted person - and introducing myself and saying, 'Hi, we kinda do the same thing,' but I just kind of got - ," before mocking a false laugh that she had received in return from Aguilera.

On meeting Boy George, she told host Dave Berry: "He knew who I was and I was like, 'Oh my God!'"
