Britney Spears’ Toxic is about Supervet Noel Fitzpatrick?
Everyone has heard Britney Spears’ megahit, Toxic. But did you know, according to reports, it’s about Supervet Noel?
In a recent article published by Popb*tch, it was revealed that Noel’s ex-girlfriend, a woman called Cathy Dennis, co-wrote the song after they broke up.
“The man who inspired the Britney Spears track Toxic was someone that the song’s co-writer Cathy Dennis had been dating in the early 2000s, who broke up with her in 2003: Noel Fitzpatrick,” the article claimed.
“It’s unlikely you’d have known who he was at the time (unless you had a sick spaniel) but he’s better known to most people nowadays as Channel 4’s Supervet!”
Supervet Noel Fitzpatrick grilled
Noel has been grilled about being the inspiration behind the song before. Holly Willoughby asked him about it during an interview on This Morning.
“Are you who that song is written about? Is it you? Please say yes,” she said. “You may have to ask Kylie Minogue whether ‘I Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’ is written about me,” he then replied.
In fact, Kylie Minogue was offered Toxic at the time. However, she turned it down and Britney took it instead. The rest is history.
Fans react
