Britney Spears is reportedly abusing laxatives and vomiting after meals.

The 'Womanizer' singer, who recently unveiled a newly toned figure which she claims is down to a healthy eating and fitness regime, is battling an eating disorder, one of her bodyguards has allegedly revealed.,/p>

A source close to one of Britney's bodyguards told America's Star magazine: "Britney's diet consists mostly of Taco Bell and turkey jerky washed down with Red Bull. "She throws up after meals, both at home and at restaurants and she isn't very discreet about it. People around her think she's bulimic."

It has also been claimed the 26-year-old star is taking diet pills in order to maintain her new slim shape.

Another insider revealed: "The pills are like diuretics. She has to go to the bathroom constantly. It just runs right through her. And everyone knows she still throws up when she's eaten too much. You can smell it in the bathroom."

It was previously reported Britney is suffering from bulimorexia, an eating disorder which sees her both starving herself and then bingeing and making herself sick.

The singer - who is said to have lost around 28lbs in the last year - reportedly starting shedding weight when she began training for her upcoming world tour.

A source said: "Britney is thrilled she has finally got her pre-baby body.

But we are really worried she might not be going about it in the healthiest way.

"This cycle of consuming fatty foods then starving herself must be playing havoc with her health. Britney looks fantastic in all her promotional pictures, but in reality she is a mess. Her skin is dull and blotchy and her hair is lank."

Britney Spears will play two London shows next year - the only European dates on her world tour.

The 'Womanizer' singer is to go on the road in support of forthcoming album 'Circus' and, despite rumours of a two-week residency, is set to play just two concerts in the UK capital.

The shows will take place at the O2 arena on 3 and 4 June and tickets go on sale at 9am on 5 December - though fans registering on her official website can obtain theirs a day earlier.

AEG promoter Rob Hallett said: "It's going to be very special. We're creating a musical circus. Expect to see jugglers, dancers, tattooed ladies and acrobats."

The 26-year-old star will be in the UK this weekend as she makes a promotional appearance on TV talent show 'The X Factor' performing 'Womanizer'. Britney is also rumoured to be making an appearance at the G-A-Y nightclub in the capital, her smallest-ever British show.

A source said: "It's an extraordinary coup that Britney has agreed to perform at the nightclub. "It has taken months of very patient planning but the hard work has been more than worth it."
