Britneys'first love speaks up

Reg Jones, now 30, has been revealed as the man who the Gimme More singer lost her virginity to at the age of 14. The troubled star's mother Lynne outed him in her tell-all book Through The Storm which claims the former high school American football star had sex with her when he was 17.

The jilted lover - who Britney dumped for Justin Timberlake - admits he still thinks of the pop star and keeps a picture of his ex wearing a black bra. He is quoted by Britain's Daily Star newspaper as saying: "We were madly in love and Britney was very passionate. I'd often stay over at her house and we'd fool around like any young couple. Although there was a couple of years difference in our age, it didn't seem to matter. "She was everything a boy could have wanted - great-looking, always laughing and liked by everyone. "One time she called me from LA, saying, 'Guess who I've just beaten at ping-pong? Leo DiCaprio.' How do you compete with that?"

Lynne's book also reveals how Britney - who broke down in tears when she found out her most intimate secrets were to be published - took drugs at 15 and started drinking aged 13.
