Britney and Kevin want Bashir interviews

Britney Spears and her ex-husband Kevin Federline are both hoping to secure TV interviews with Martin Bashir, according to a report.

The People claims that Spears wants to win back public sympathy by spilling the beans about her life with Federline, who won temporary custody of their two children earlier this week.

However, Kevin is hoping to tell his side of the story and has also been in talks with the journalist, who is best known for his chats with Princess Diana and Michael Jackson.

A source told the newspaper: "As far as Martin is concerned it would be all of his Christmases come at once if he could secure a deal with both of them.

"He is really keen to do an interview that would blow the lid off their private lives. It would guarantee millions of viewers worldwide. In an ideal world, he would love to get them both in the same room.

"Kevin is up for that but Britney is less keen. Either way, it would be explosive viewing to get them both to open up their hearts to him."
