Britney Spears is said to be returning to the UK to make an appearance on The X Factor.

The singer will perform her comeback single 'Womanizer' in what will be her first visit to the UK in four years.

ITN reports Spears will appear on the talent show this December - around the time her new album Circus is to be released. 'Womanizer' will be available in the UK on September 22.

A track from her new album titled 'Candy From Strangers' has already been reportedly leaked online.

Earlier this month, Spears took home three prizes at the 25th MTV Video Music Awards.
