Britney Spears - Federline Set To Endorse Weight Loss Product

BRITNEY SPEARS' ex-husband KEVIN FEDERLINE is close to sealing a seven-figure deal to sign on as the face of a weight loss company, according to reports.

The former back-up dancer has fought a long-running battle with his waistline and hit the headlines after piling on the pounds earlier this year (09).

But now he's set to get paid to shed weight, with a $2.5 million (£1.7 million) contract to endorse a fat-burning supplement made by U.S. firm EP-2 (Extreme Physical Performance), reports RadarOnline.com.

An insider tells the website that Federline, who receives $20,000 (£13,300) a month from Spears following their 2007 divorce, is looking to shape up before starring in new a reality TV series.
