Britney Spears has been banned by husband Kevin Federline from having male dancers in her new video. Britney - who has just given birth to the couple's second son, Sutton Pierce - is keen to re-launch her pop career and had hired dancer Matt Felker, who appeared in her 'Toxic' video, to work with her on the promo for her new single.

But Kevin, who met the singer when he was a dancer on her world tour, was far from happy with his wife's choice and demanded she fire all the male performers because he is worried she will find love with another dancer.

A source told In Touch Weekly magazine: "Kevin insisted that Britney fire Matt and all of the other male dancers she'd hired and replace them with females. He is surprisingly insecure and secretly terrified she will leave him if her career takes off again."

Kevin has also reportedly told Britney - who he has another son, Sean Preston, with - not to worry about losing her baby weight in a bid to deter potential suitors. The source added: "He's even telling her she doesn't need to lose all of her pregnancy weight. Kevin doesn't want Britney to be making sexy moves again."
