Glee guest spot was Britney Spears' idea

The creator of Glee has revealed it was Britney Spears’ idea to make a guest appearance on the show.

Ryan Murphy said: “It’s a tribute to her and her music. It was her idea to come on and do a couple of fun ‘Where’s Waldo?’ moments - but instead of ‘Where’s Waldo?’ it’s ‘Where’s Britney?’ That was her idea."

“I think Britney is going to be on the show, yes,” he told Access Hollywood.

“The episode is a tribute to her pop culture phenomenon over the past 10 years and her music. It’s very reverential. It’s full of love and admiration.”

Murphy also admitted he is keen to get teen heartthrob Justin Bieber on the show.
