Britney Spears Accidentally Burned Down Her Home Gym With Candles

Oops. 

Throughout the coronavirus pandemic we've seen footage of celebrities spending time at home far more than usual. Whether they've been creating TikTok videos, performing virtual gigs or sharing encouraging messages, it's provided some insight into what their daily lives involve.

Pop icon Britney Spears is the latest celeb to get candid with her followers. Earlier this week, she filmed herself exercising in an Instagram video.

It seemed like it was going to be your typical workout video until Britney casually revealed some shocking information.

"I'm in the gym right now. I haven't been in here for like six months because I burned my gym down, unfortunately," she explained. 

Just take a moment to let that sink in.

At this stage, you're probably wondering: How did Britney manage to burn down her home gym? 

Well, it appears two candles are to blame for the incident.

"I had two candles and... yeah, one thing led to another and I burned it down."

Britney added, "I'm in here and I only have two pieces of equipment left, and I'm going to show you guys what I do during this time." 

While the "Toxic" singer didn't elaborate any further, she did clarify in the caption of the post that nobody was hurt. 

Why were we not told that #BritneySpears accidentally burned down her home gym 6 months ago? What else is this administration hiding from us???

At least it hasn't stopped her from smashing her workout routine.
