Britney Spears fans left in stitches over Michelle Williams' impression of Justin Timberlake
As if we'd time-travelled back to 2002, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake are once again the names on everybody's lips...
Following the release of her tell-all memoir, The Woman in Me, earlier this week, fans of Britney have been well and truly thrown into the depths of her former romance with ex Justin.
Amongst the hundreds of bombshells that the mother-of-two has dropped within the pages of the book are that she kissed her Aussie choreographer Wade Robson while in a relationship with Justin, and that he also cheated on her with another celebrity.

Britney also penned specific quotes from her 'SexyBack' singer ex within the copy, which has been hugely entertaining for audiobook listeners as fellow big-name star Michelle Williams has narrated the text.
And ex-Dawson's Creek actor Michelle has now been heaped in praise from Britney's diehard fan-base, with many expressing their delight over her impersonation of *NSYNC star Justin.
One particular extract of the juicy memoir has gone viral, simply because of Michelle's iconic impression.
Recalling one of Britney's previous trips to New York with then-boyfriend Justin, Michelle reads: "His band *NSYNC was what people back then called 'so pimp'. They were white boys but they loved hip-hop.
"To me that's what separated them from the Backstreet Boys who seemed very consciously to position themselves as a white group."
"*NSYNC hung out with Black artists," Michelle says as she continues to read Britney's words. "I thought they tried too hard to fit in. One day, Jay and I were in New York going to parts of town I'd never been to before.
"Walking our way was a guy with a huge blinged out medallion. He was flanked by two giant security guards. Jay got all excited and said so loud, 'Oh, yeah, fo' shiz, fo' shiz! Ginuwiiiiine! What's up homie?'"
Delighted social media users were quick to react to Michelle's hilarious impersonation of Justin, with many taking to X to express their joy.
One fan wrote: "If someone can confirm that the rest of the book is this funny, please let me know and I'll buy it ASAP."
Another added: "This bout to be the greatest clip of audio since Watergate."
While a third said: "Give Michelle Williams her Oscar for narrating #TheWomanInMe."
Explaining why she hired the multi-award winning actor to read her autobiography, Britney previously said: "This book has been a labour of love, and all the emotions that come with it, reliving everything has been exciting, heart-wrenching and emotional to say the least.
"For those reasons, I will only be reading a small part of my audio book. I am so grateful to the amazing Michelle Williams for reading the rest of it."
