The 'Criminal' singer has invited them to support her on tour.

Britney Spears has revealed that she is a big fan of The Wanted.

Max, Jay, Siva, Tom and Nathan went to watch the 'Criminal' singer perform at London's Wembley Arena earlier this week and joined Brit backstage before the show.

On Twitter, Britney said she was so impressed with the group that she has invited The Wanted to support her on tour.

She wrote: "So the boys from @thewantedmusic came to my Wembley show & we hung out backstage! Love them!

"I've asked them to open my show in Manchester on Sunday. Who's coming? Going to be a lot of fun!!"

Britney is currently in the UK on her 'Femme Fatale' world tour.

Meanwhile, The Wanted's performance with the star will come on the same day (6th November) that they release their new album 'Battleground'.
