The 'Toxic' star's rep revealed she has enlisted the help of the Black Eyed Peas rapper for her upcoming record.

Britney Spears' representative has revealed that the 'Toxic' star has enlisted the help of Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.i.am to play a role in her new album.

The 'Great Times' star worked with the X Factor USA Judge on her 2011 album 'Femme Fatale', which reached number one in the US Billboard Album Chart, crafting the track "Big Fat Bass.'

The 'This Is Love' rapper joined her again on his latest single 'Scream And Shout' which reached number two in the Vodafone Big Top 40 and currently has over 55 million YouTube views.

Will.i.am recently said he'd "love" to hit the studio with Spears again, and described her as "a sweetheart, a doll of an artist and just a kind, kind person".

Meanwhile Britney revealed in a twitter Q & A with fans last week that she was currently "Working hard. Collaborating with some new inspiring producers. Really focused on my music right now."

There are rumours that the star's stint as a judge on the US X Factor will soon end due to criticism of her judging style, although she has received support from British star Jessie J and Nicole Scherzinger when initially chosen for the role.
