Britney Spears strips to her undies in her new movie - but puts her kit on in a new advert for Pepsi.

The chart star has pulled on a stylised football strip to play soccer in a commercial to be screened before the World Cup Finals this summer.

Britney's advert is also believed to feature England captain David Beckham.

The singer is reported to have split from boyfriend Justin Timberlake - but she still denies it in public.

She has a lucrative multi-million-pound deal to promote Pepsi.

However Britney, whose movie debut Crossroads is shortly to be released in the UK, has been spotted in recent months drinking rival beverages.
