Madonna is reportedly eager to reunite former love-birds Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake for her Sweet & Sticky tour.

Spears is already set to make an appearance at the shows through a short film that will been shown on video screens and is also rumoured to be appearing in person at some shows.

Madge is also said to be roping in Timberlake for the gigs after he appeared on her latest album Hard Candy.

A source told The Sun: "Madonna is always trying to raise the bar and Britney and Timberlake on the same stage would be perfect.

"They have both been asked but I think both are a bit reluctant. Britney would find it all a bit emotional and JT might not fancy it.

“More likely is that they both appear on different dates. But if anyone can make this happen it's Madonna."
