Britney Spears left her fans in hysterics by pretending to be a talking British cat in her latest Instagram video.

The US pop superstar, 36, tried her hand at a British accent ahead of her UK tour later this year.

Spears adopted a cat filter for the bizarre video, which saw her drop her US accent to ask for some milk.

She said: “I would like nothing more but a sip of milk at the moment.”

Spears was hailed a “queen” by fans who praised her “impressive” attempt at a British accent.

One commented: “English accent on point.. our queen.”

A second wrote: “Cats and Britney can today get any better.”

A third posted: “She’s a treasure.”

She later donated the artwork to an auction to benefit the victims of the Las Vegas shooting.

The painting, which features five pink, blue and purple flowers, was snapped up by former Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous host Robin Leach who donated $10,000 (£7,600) to become owner of the one-off piece.

Spears is gearing up for a stint in the UK as part of her worldwide Piece of Me tour.

She will perform in London, Manchester and Dublin in August, as well as headlining Brighton Pride on August 4.
