The real reason HALF of Brits are terrified of dancing & often avoid going out so they don't have to hit the disco floor

HALF of Brits are 'terrified' of dancing in public – with three in 10 afraid others will laugh at them. A poll of 2,000 adults found 29 per cent never bop in public - while for 22 per cent, the thought of doing so is the stuff of nightmares. 3 With 12 per cent admitting the mere possibility of a boogie under the gaze of others is likely to see them break out in a cold sweat. Nearly six in 10 (58 per cent) of those polled have actively avoided social gatherings where music was being played - because they were scared of being pressured into dancing when they didn't want to. While 13 per cent have managed to avoid it for so long, they can't even remember the last time they actually had a boogie when out and about. The research was commissioned by Lipton Ice Tea to launch its new Kombucha range, teaming up with Wes Nelson to create a new track called 'Kombucha-cha' which aims to inspire more people to dance. Amid fears the UK is entering a dance drought, Wes Nelson, said: 'We all need a little more joy in our lives, and nothing makes you feel alive more than moving your feet. 'Whether you're dancing in your bedroom or out with your mates in the sunshine, let's bring the fun back.' The study also found 47 per cent would like the confidence to dance like no one is watching - rising to 65 per cent among Gen Z adults. It emerged this generation is most apprehensive about boogieing in public (53 per cent), followed by Millennials (52 per cent) and Gen X (48 per cent). With the top reasons adults are fearful of dancing in public including a lack of belief in their abilities (46 per cent), feeling silly (44 per cent), and being stared at (33 per cent). Despite their concerns many do like dancing – it's just the doing it in public which appears to be a worry for some. JoJo Siwa 'is sending secret message to Chris Hughes' say fans as she shows off sexy new dance moves As many as 63 per cent said they enjoy it 'a great deal' or a 'moderate amount', while 59 per cent said the activity results in them feeling happier. More than half (53 per cent) even said it makes them feel alive and 26 per cent said it helps with their mental health. And perhaps reassuringly, 76 per cent believe anyone can dance – that there's no need to have formal training to do so. 3 3 However, 11 per cent also claim there are no clubs or bars for them to dance in anymore. Carried out through OnePoll, the study also found, that prior to taking part in the research, 40 per cent were unaware dancing releases endorphins. Emma Marshall, happiness expert for Lipton Kombucha, which will be taking over Battersea Power Station Square on June 13 for a day of 'non-stop feel-good tunes,' said: 'From feeling energised to releasing endorphins, loads of people are missing out on the benefits of dancing. 'You don't need to be a professional dancer, all you need is an upbeat track and space to move - you'll feel the benefits!''

Britney Spears has shared another erratic dancing video after breaking her silence on a private jet sparked fresh fears for the singer's health and got the police involved. The singer, 43, put on a racy display as she showed off her figure in a pink skintight mini dress with a plunging neckline. The garment featured a sequinned embellishment and Britney added height to her frame with a pair of pink heels. Dancing in front of her pool, Britney struck a series of animated poses while fixing the camera with an intense stare. She strutted her stuff to Timbaland's song Carry Out which features her ex-boyfriend Justin Timerblake. Alongside the clip, Britney posted several knife emojis and turned her comments off. Britney Spears has shared another erratic dancing video after breaking her silence on a private jet sparked fresh fears for the singer's health and got the police involved The singer, 43, put on a racy display as she showed off her figure in a pink skintight mini dress with a plunging neckline It comes after the pop star, who was freed from her conservatorship in 2021, was flying from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to LAX with her security on Thursday when she starting drinking, before lighting up a cigarette and smoking it, per TMZ. It was reported flight attendants were 'alarmed and ordered her to put out the cigarette' - with the singer complying. Britney was said to have acted in a 'difficult' manner during the flight and when the plane landed, she was met by authorities and 'warned about her conduct' - before being allowed to leave. A source later told People, 'This is not her first warning. She doesn't exactly follow the rules.' Britney responded to the explosive scandal with a video of herself on the plane toasting the camera - accompanied by a bizarre caption in which she wrote that she 'thought officials greeted me as support and I was like WOW I feel special !!!' 'Me yesterday !!!' she wrote alongside the clip of her on the plane before insisting the fracas was 'actually incredibly funny' and launching into a rambling explanation. 'Some planes I've been on you can't smoke mostly but this one was different because the drink holders were on outside of seat !!! Confession it was my first time drinking VODKA!!! I swear I felt so SMART !!!' she exclaimed. 'I was like wow what the heck is in there !!! I felt so clear and smart !!! And said I want a cigarette so bad !!! My friend put it in my mouth and lit it up for me so I was like OH SO THIS IS A PLANE WHERE YOU CAN SMOKE !!!' she claimed. 'I do so apologize to anyone I offended but the flight attendants always make sure I'm way at the back of plane anyways !!!' She then sensationally wrote, possibly in jest: 'I thought officials greeted me as support and I was like WOW I feel special !!!' Britney then joked: 'I've never been to an international airport !!! Am I famous or something ???' with some crying laughing emoji sprinkled in. 'The flight attendant called officials because I smoked a cigarette !!! And embarrass me which jeez I thought was kinda much but she didn't like me the moment I got on plane !!! Nobody was on the plane for first 20 minutes and she wouldn't let me get out of my seat I wanted to stand up !!!' Spears insisted. 'She acted so weird about making sure I sat down and it was weird !!! I didn't like the way she put the seatbelt on me and invaded my space !!! Oh well you guys like my flower choker ??? B tiny is coming soon and thats something we have added !!! It's honestly adorable !!!' 'I do so apologize to anyone I offended but the flight attendants always make sure I'm way at the back of plane anyways !!!' she wrote Spears followed up the statement with one of her trademark Instagram dance videos - this time including footage of her swigging from a bottle The pop icon, who was freed from her conservatorship in 2021, was flying from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to LAX at the time - pictured last week on holiday Britney followed up the statement with one of her trademark Instagram dance videos - this time including footage of her swigging from a bottle. The clip was set to the classic Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee song Despacito, which was released in 2017 and famously remixed with Justin Bieber. After the airplane incident took place on Thursday, a spokesman for air carrier and private plane service JSX told in a statement: 'We have no comment regarding the alleged events described.' Smoking is strictly prohibited on all JSX flights, including private jets. LAX police confirmed to the publication they did not respond - and 'it appears someone from Customs may have issued the warning' to Spears. has contacted representatives for Britney Spears and LAX for further comment. Back in December 2024, Britney raised alarm bells when she was pictured bringing a grill lighter onto a private plane as she jetted off to celebrate her birthday. It is not known why Spears — who previously burnt down her home gym in 2020, after an accident with two candles — was holding the lighter but she even kept the device over her mouth as she spoke with members of her entourage. Single, standard lighters - such as cigarette lighters - are generally allowed on private jets in carry-on luggage. However torch lighters, or any other type with a large flame, such as the one carried by Spears, are usually not permitted onboard per TSA regulations. Spears previously revealed she burned off her eyebrows and eyelashes after attempting to turn on the fireplace in her bedroom earlier in 2024. Spears and Asghari married in 2022 after seven years together, but separated just over a year later in July 2023, before Asghari officially filed for divorce on August 16, 2023; seen in 2019 Spears' latest drama comes after ex Sam Asghari took a cruel swipe at their marriage, while praising his new relationship. He called their union 'Hollywood,' while also saying his four month long relationship with Brooke was 'all about love,' as the pair made their red carpet debut at the grand opening weekend of The Tryst hotel. 'It's all about love. That's what it is,' Asghari told Us Weekly on April 25, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. 'It's not about the industry, it's not about Hollywood,' he continued. 'It's about what really is the most important thing, and that's being present, being in the moment and supporting others that are doing this same thing.' Sam was with the I Did It Again singer from 2016 to 2023. Sam and Britney met on the set of her Slumber Party music video in October 2016 and the following month they sparked romance rumors with the personal trainer posted a photo (which he later deleted) on Instagram.

Drew Scott & Linda Phan's Family Photo Starring Daughter Piper Shows She's Already Half the Size of Her Mom

Drew Scott and Linda Phan's latest family photo has everyone wondering where the time has gone, and how tall their one-year-old daughter Piper is going to get! Earlier this week, Scott shared the most darling set of photos of him, Phan, and their daughter Piper. He shared the photos on his Instagram with the caption reading, 'This is 1🎂 It has FLOWN by! Happy bday Pipes❤️👶.' In the first photo, we see Scott and Phan holding onto Piper's hands as they walk together, all in colorful apparel, and then the shadow of them all walking together. But did you notice it too? Piper is already nearly half the size of her mama! Those Scott genes are kicking in in the height department! And this isn't the only post Scott made for his daughter's birthday. Earlier the same day, he shared a compilation video of his dancing Queen to honor her cutest habit: dancing to everything! He shared the video with the caption reading, 'Happy 1st birthday to our little dancing queen! ❤️' Happy belated birthday, Piper! For those who don't know, Scott and Phan met at a Toronto Fashion Week event in 2010, hitting it off soon after. They later married in 2018. After 12 years together, they welcomed their son Parker James, born in May 2022, specifically on their fourth wedding anniversary. In early 2024, they announced they were expecting another baby, and on June 5, 2024, they welcomed their daughter Piper Rae. Back in 2023, during an interview with Drew and Jonathan, Drew talked about what being a father meant to him. 'I don't want to be the dad who's off filming and works all the time. The traditional stereotypes are not of interest to me. Linda and I both want to be impactful in Parker's growth,' he said. 'There's no perfect parent or perfect dad and families look different for everyone. As long as you're someone who's giving your all, giving a lot of love, showing love, and encouraging your kids to be kind, you're doing the job.'Best of SheKnows There's Something So Beautiful About the Bond Between Brothers Tween & Teen Slang 2025: A Definitive Guide to 'What the Hellyante' Your Kid Is Saying Right Now Celebrity Moms Who Were Honest About Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss — Because It Matters

‘He was THE VIBE' — Man who danced like nobody's watching at Lady Gaga concert gets fan support to allow him to be part of the show

SINGAPORE: On the first night of Lady Gaga's concerts in Singapore, one man appeared to find himself on the edge of glory by dancing his heart out all by himself. When a clip showing him head and shoulders above the crowd in his section was posted on TikTok, so many people cheered him on. The video was posted on the account of @bbellywellyjelly on Monday (May 19), and since then, it has received over 100,000 views 'Dear Section 114, to those of you who told security not to stop this guy from dancing, you were the absolute best,' the post author wrote. @bbellywellyjelly Gold 💛🌟 #ladygagasingapore #mayhemballtoursingapore ♬ Heart Keeper – Kai Saionji In the video, the man, whose back can only be seen, is dancing, posing, and applauding enthusiastically while everyone around him is seated, enjoying the concert more sedately. At one point, however, he turns, and everyone around him cheers him on. In the comments section, the man, who appears to be a fellow TikTok user, graciously addressed those who were nearby. ' Thank you for letting me dance, section 114 🥰 sorry if I disturbed your view,' he wrote. The post author, however, seemed to feel there was no need for apologies, writing, 'You made our night! Keep dancing!' When other commenters asked why security guards would even dream of making anyone sit down at a Lady Gaga concert, where everyone is expected to, you know, just dance, the post author replied that many concertgoers were delighted at how much the dancing man was enjoying himself. 'I was on the last row, and everyone behind him was telling security to let him be – it was such a cute moment! Everyone was cheering for him, I loved that so muchhhhhhhhh he was THE VIBE,' she wrote. Another TikTok user had a completely different experience, writing, 'We had people tell us to sit down 😅 it's a Gaga concert, you have to expect to see people dancing.' 'I was in section 111 and I think I'm the only person standing and singing to Gaga… I paid for the tickets and I'm here for Mother!' chimed in another. 'BRO I WANT THIS KIND OF PEOPLE IN MY SECTION!!! So the crowd doesn't look dead,' a commenter wrote. When one wrote, 'I want to dance, and two people behind me told me to sit down. What a shame,' another replied with, 'Omg I can never sit down. I was there yesterday and I was so glad that the crowds behind me also stood and danced all night.' 'She literally told the crowd to JUMP AND PUT YOUR HANDS UP,' wrote another commenter. One quipped, 'GAGA DONT ALLOW PEOPLE TO SIT AT HER CONCERT LOL.' /TISG Read also: 'Like it's National Day' — Singaporeans say of Lady Gaga hanging the SG flag at her concert See also Stefanie Sun's celebratory concert tour to include Singapore
