Singing and dancing mixed with travelling the world appears to be taking its toll on Britney Spears’ memory.

The US pop superstar appeared to forget where she was as she performed to more than 50,000 people at Brighton Pride on Saturday.

Spears, 36, headlined Saturday’s festival in Preston Park as part of her Piece of Me tour, but struggled with her whereabouts and asked a backing dancer: “Where are we?”

They replied “Brighton Pride” before Spears shouted: “What’s up Brighton Pride?”

The moment was captured by a fan who uploaded the hilarious moment to Twitter, posting: “Bless her she went to ask Willie but didn’t move her mic enough so everyone heard over the speakers.”

One commented: “Did she seriously ask which f****** city she was in? Again?”

Another joked: “It’s hard for Americans… they think the whole island is London.”

Spears played her full Las Vegas residency set which saw her go through multiple costume changes and pull a man named Greg from the audience and parade him around the stage on a leash.

She thanked fans for attending the show on wrapping up the hour and a half set, posting on Instagram: “Brighton Pride…. all 57,000 of you are perfectly beautiful.

“Heard it was a record breaking turnout!!! Thank you for a fabulous show… my fabulous fans. I love you all.”

Brighton Pride also saw Ella Eyre and Pixie Lott perform as well as Jess Glynne and Nile Rogers at Sunday's LoveBn1Fest.

Coca-Cola was the official sponsor of Brighton Pride 2018 and a member of INvolve, a membership organisation that helps companies harness LGBT+, ethnic minority and female talent and foster inclusive cultures.
