Justin Timberlake was linked to Nicole Appleton

Britney Spears has claimed Justin Timberlake cheated on her "a couple of times" during their four-year romance and said one of the times was with All Saints singer Nicole Appleton.

The Princess of Pop, 41, said she knew her then-boyfriend was unfaithful but she "let it go" because she was "so infatuated and so in love". However, Britney said it didn't stop the tabloids from rubbing it in her face.

Recalling one particular incident in London 2000, when NSYNC paid a visit to London, Britney said he was photographed by paparazzi with another woman. She wrote: "Photographers caught him with one of the girls from All Saints in a car. But I never said anything."

At the time, Britney had been dating Justin for a year. Back in 2000, Justin was pictured with Nicole as he headed back to his London hotel after a night out. The photos showed the pair hiding their faces in the back of the taxi as they tried to drive away from the press.

They were also snapped walking from The Mayfair Club to the St. Martins Lane hotel, where Justin was staying. Britney said she was later met with other claims Justin had been unfaithul.

During a trip to Vegas, she recalled one of her dancers saying Justin had gestured toward a girl and said: "Yeah, man, I hit that last night." Britney refused to name the woman as she said "she's actually very popular and she's married with kids now."

Justin and Nicole tried to keep their heads down

After learning about Justin's alleged cheating, Britney admitted she had a fling with dancer Wade Robson. Britney said: "We were out one night and we went to a Spanish bar. We danced and danced. I made out with him that night."

She insisted she was loyal to Justin apart from that "one exception". She also said she was honest with him about what happened and they were able to move past it and stay together.

Britney said she thought they would "be together forever", but that wasn't to be. The couple split in 2002, with Justin releasing the song Cry Me A River shortly after.
