Steps star Ian ‘H’ Watkins has revealed Britney Spears knew all of the dance routines to the group’s biggest hits. 

The What The Future Holds stars toured with the singer on her ‘Baby… One More Time’ US Tour back in 1999, during which he famously struck up a friendship with Britney.

Speaking to The Sun, he opened up on the pair’s relationship, sharing: “I became close to Britney. I travelled on her private jet between gigs as I am a terrible insomniac and I couldn’t sleep on the band’s tour bus. She kindly invited me to fly with her. We became great friends. 

“To see what’s happening right now is heartbreaking. I want her to get her life back.

“I want that beautiful, sweet, kind woman to regain her sparkle. We used to make silly videos – she was lovely and deserves the best.

“I was listening live to her court hearing speech and I could hear the desperation in her voice, the unhappiness and I was gutted. I think the whole thing is going to unravel now and she has voiced that she wants out.” 

The pair became so close, in fact, that Britney learned the dance routine to some of the group’s most popular hits. 

He added: “We last hooked up when she came to Wembley Arena back in 2004, but I know if she came to our Steps concert she would still know the routines.

“We used to have a laugh – she especially loved Tragedy.”

H’s comments come as the group readies their new album ‘What The Future Holds Pt. 2’, featuring the single Heartbreak in this City with Michelle Visage. 

Also included on the tracklist is Take Me For a Ride, which reunites Steps’ original collaborators Topham & Twigg for the first time in a decade, plus covers of Mariette’s A Million Years and Lina Hedlund’s Victorious.
