It's not everyday that superstar Britney Spears gets a crush on you.

But it happened last week for one lucky man from Kingston, who found himself the subject of a video that the popstar had posted on Instagram, alongside the caption: "The men in London omg".

Phil Lupton, 46, was riding his motorcycle home from Hearst Magazines in Soho when Ms Spears captured the video of him.

Ms Spears was heard saying in the video: "My crush in London, very hot, very hot, very hot."

He told Cosmopolitan that he was alerted to the footage by a colleague and is "flattered" by the comments.

He said: "I was surprised. And flattered, because of all the people in London, I get picked.

"She's lucky she saw me on the motorbike because I probably only go on it once a week, because most of the time I'm cycling.

"I'm under no illusions that it was the image rather than me, if that makes sense. She couldn't see me – I had a helmet and glasses on."

Mr Lupton, who is married with two daughters, also told the Sun his wife "can't believe the fuss it's made and finds it quite funny."

He added: “The kids love it and are enjoying the spotlight after their dad got picked out. They’ve been trying to prove to their friends it’s really me.”
