Friends of Britney Spears fear that her diet of alcohol, cigarettes, and partying are taking a toll on the 25 year old singer. Recently photographed leaving a Los Angeles party at four o’clock in the morning, Britney looked tired and drawn, whilst bearing a striking resemblance to British comedy legend Barbara Windsor.

‘She doesn’t look like a fresh faced schoolgirl these days,’ said fashion and celebrity expert Rhona Flemish of Glam Slapper Magazine. ‘Can we expect to see her turning up behind the bar in Albert Square? Barbara Windsor, on the other hand, looks fantastic for somebody eighty three years age, which just goes to show you that everything is relative.’

The singer’s appearance comes as no surprise to skincare expert, Professor Henry Purcell of University College London. ‘I have actually named it the Windsor effect,’ he explains as he demonstrates by pushing masses of plastercine around a fake head. ‘When a young face gets overly tired, the underlying muscles slacken and produce features that do indeed look not unlike Barbara Windsor. When it happens in men, they always look like celebrity chef, Keith Floyd. When people first realise this phenomena, they think it outlandish. I can assure them that it’s simple physics.’

The news was not all bad as Barbara Windsor admitted that she was delighted by the news. ‘I’ve already been asked to play Britney Spears in a bio-pic of her life,’ she squeaked.
