Britney Spears is rumored starving herself to get slimmer body as she doesn't want to be criticized during her first introduction on the British TV screen in five years.

Thinking that her arrival on "The X-Factor" on November 29 will be perfect by dropping another seven pounds, singer Britney Spears, 26, is reportedly determined to down-size her already svelte figure in an extreme way. She has lost two pounds since getting her life back on her music, but has decided not to eat to get her dream body. A friend of the "Circus" singer tells Mail Online about her way to reduce weight.

The source reveals the issue, "She goes to bed hungry and is dieting so hard she's suffering from insomnia, anxiety, flushes and shakes." The source further states, "Her father and the people around her are trying to get her to eat more, but Britney is determined not to be criticized for having any extra bulk."

While Spears is rumored doing hard work to be slimmer, Simon Cowell, who is format creator and also judge of "X-Factor" is hoping for the best to the star's appearance for the U.K. TV series. Over her coming back on the date, Cowell says, "Last year, I asked her to come and do X Factor but she was too hectic. This year it's happening. I'm so glad to see her back on track. Her performance is going to be incredible."

Britney Spears has been scheduled to appear at the talent show to perform her single "Womanizer" on November 29. Cowell has confirmed her performance on September 24, saying "Yes, I think Britney Spears is going to perform on The X Factor." An insider of the show also gives comment, "Everyone is thrilled. To have Britney involved is a massive coup. They expect ratings to go through the roof when her performance airs."
