BRITNEY Spears is planning a comeback featuring a one-night-only performance and an Oprah Winfrey interview - just like singer Adele did last year, The Sun can exclusively report.

Britney was impressed by Adele's One Night Only CBS show, which combined an intimate concert and a tell-all sitdown with Oprah, a source claimed.

And the pop star, 40, could pocket tens of millions for the show - as Adele's One Night Only show reportedly made $100m from sales around the world.

Now insiders say that Britney, opening up about the challenges of her past 13 years under her dad's conservatorship, could earn potentially double that sum.

"Britney is working on her musical comeback, calmly and secretly plotting how to win her place back as the biggest pop star in the world," a business associate told The Sun.

“And she is very much taking the lead with ideas on how to address her return amid interest from fans and media about her journey.

“Certainly she loved what Adele did with Oprah, mixing the music and interviews for a special.

“Obviously there is huge interest in her story to be told in detail on television for the first time since being 'freed'.

“She will have to do something for sure to promote her return, but the important thing for Britney is trying to control the personal headlines overshadowing her professional return."

'Creative force'

The source continued: “One thing people forget is that Britney is a very creative force, whose vision and passion was responsible for much of her early career success."

Britney has apparently been a longtime fan of Oprah and admired the chat show host's interview with the Duke and Duchess Of Sussex.

"Oprah has been a champion for those in the media glare in recent years - and Britney liked the Meghan Markle and Prince Harry interview.

“There may be an element of Britney feeling that she can relate to the Sussexes too, feeling that they were silenced by their family situation. There are some similarities there.

“Oprah allowed them to have a platform to tell their stories in their own way.

“Oprah uncovering Britney's truth would be captivating and mixed with music would be a little less intense than a full two hour full interview.”

Adele’s special, co-produced by production company Fullwell 73 and Sony Music, was sold to territories worldwide for significant sums.

If Britney goes ahead with her plans for a similar show, it would likely be a prime time special for major networks globally.

Big business

"With respect to Adele, Britney doing a deal like this would be enormous," the source added.

"It is no understatement to say the world's TV networks would pay very large sums for this style of show.

“There is a real feeling that the world, not just her fans, has been wanting to hear what Britney has to say in person about her life.

“For her to align that with promotion for new music is a business masterstroke.”

It comes after Britney went on a wild rant against her former managers in a now-deleted Instagram post.

Britney was controlled under a conservatorship run by her father Jamie for over a decade.

Following months in court, Jamie was removed as her conservator in September after he filed to step down from the position.

Then in November, Judge Brenda Penny ruled that Britney's conservatorship would be terminated, giving the hitmaker control of her life for the first time since before 2008.
