Britney Spears 'loves pole dancing'

Britney Spears enjoys pole dancing to keep fit and has asked for a pole to be installed at The Dorchester hotel in London for her arrival in June, it has been claimed.

The singer is said to exercise using the device between shows during her ongoing 'Circus' tour.

A source told the Evening Standard: "Britney loves pole dancing, it is her new favourite workout. She gets the toning that she needs without having to hit the gym, and she wants to be able to do it in the privacy of her own hotel room.

"Keeping fit on the tour is very important as her show is full of rigorous dance routines, so Britney likes to do her pole dancing workout every morning when she gets up."

Earlier this week, Spears announced an extension to the European leg of her tour to include dates in Dublin, Paris, Antwerp, Copenhagen, Stockholm and Helsinki.
