THE RUMOUR: Britney Spears and Nick Carter are head over heels in love (and was in bed together) but they are keeping the romance under wraps so they don’t upset their fans.

THE TRUTH: "It’s a load of rubbish! It’s so funny how people start rumours like this. I’ve never even met Nick Carter! I’ve met Howie and Kevin from the Backstreet Boys and I’ve seen Nick Carter, but I’ve never even spoken to him!" – Britney’s confession
