Britney Spears has reached out to her gay fans by filming a fake advert for a perfume aimed at homosexuals.

The Toxic hitmaker decided to poke fun at her career as a perfumer by recording a short film for the organisers of the Logo TV network's NewNowNext awards, which embrace gay culture.

The singer is seen promoting a fake new fragrance called 'Mo - a term of endearment in the gay community.

The video features footage from her previous perfume ads before the star addresses the camera to read the tag line, "One spray and the gays will run your way!"

Logo executive producer Christopher Willey said: "She's having fun with her gay audience, because she's an official gay icon at such a young and tender age. She has this natural rapport with the gay community.

"I think she just really likes her gay fans and she sees this as a way to talk directly to them, which she hasn't really done before."
