Britney Spears was Joe Jonas's childhood crush, he's admitted

US boy band singer Joe Jonas has announced that he will be performing in Europe with Britney Spears this autumn.

The 21-year-old will join the singer's Femme Fatale tour which includes four UK dates in October in London and Birmingham.

There will also be gigs in Ireland, Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands and France.

Joe Jonas has told US celebrity magazine People that Britney Spears was his "childhood crush".

"It's a dream come true," he said.

"She was the first girl I ever had a poster on my wall of, and her album was the first CD I ever bought.

"It's so funny to think I had that on my wall and here I am about to perform with her."

The singer is in boy band The Jonas Brothers with his two brothers Kevin and Nick but has a solo album out at the same time as the tour, called Fastlife.

"I'll be playing more music than I have the past few times I've performed live so far," he adds.

"It's going to be really fun to perform some of my music from the album."

The Britney Spears UK tour dates featuring Joe Jonas are:

London, O2 Arena - 27 October

London, O2 Arena - 28

Birmingham, LG Arena - 30
