| Wes Welker admits to dressing as Britney Spears for high school pep rally |
In an interview Tuesday, Hellie asked Welker about dressing up as pop star Britney Spears during a pep rally at Heritage Hall High School in Oklahoma City, Okla.
Welker was a football star at the school from 1996-2000, including a championship year in 1998. He laughed and reluctantly admitted to the prank.
“Gosh, I’d love to say false there, but I did,” Welker said. “I’d love to say false, but they have me on video. I’ve already bought them off, so you won’t be seeing that anytime soon.”
"He was a superstar in the homecoming pep assembly lip sync contest in his senior year," said Welker's former teacher Betsy Horn. "He was a backup dancer. Probably the one that brought the house down with his portrayal of Britney Spears."
Horn also said that he was a hit performing Christina Aguilera's "Genie In A Bottle." That video has not surfaced... yet.
