CONCERN GROWS AS SPEARS TAKES THREE ATTEMPTS TO REVERSE INTO PARKING SPACE

FRIENDS of Britney Spears last night spoke of their growing concern for the pop princess after she took three attempts to reverse park her car.

Spears is not allowed within 50ft of an orange

The troubled singer called a halt to her first attempt after squashing an orange with her offside rear wheel.

In the subsequent confusion she got her angle wrong and bumped the tyres of her Mercedes SLK into the kerb, before edging forward too far and leaving the nose of the car jutting into the road.

Dr Phil McGraw, the television therapist, said: "She's hurt, she's confused, she's clearly psychotic: that orange could have been her baby."

Eyewitness Nikki Hollis, 26, said it was obvious from the tiny scratches on the rear bumper that this was not the first time the pop superstar had struggled with reverse parking.

She added: "She came to a halt next to the space she wanted to park in, put her car into reverse gear and then tried to drive it in backwards. It was just totally insane."

Tom Logan, 28, said: "I filmed the whole thing on my phone. After the third attempt she just got out and walked off as if nothing had happened. That is one sick lady."

This is not the first time Spears has been involved in a motor-related fracas. Last autumn she left the Ventura Freeway in Los Angeles at Junction 17 without indicating.

In 2006 she admitted turning on her windscreen wipers instead of her air conditioning. The police said it was a miracle no-one was killed.
