Dance veteran Moby has jokingly said that he would marry Britney Spears “in a heartbeat.”

The 42-year-old said - with his tongue firmly wedged in his cheek - that the “weirder” and “fatter” Britney is getting the more he is endearing towards the pop star.

He tells The Sun: "She's like this Tennessee Williams tragic figure. The fatter she gets, the weirder she gets, the more I love her. I found her moderately appealing in the late 90s, but now I would marry her in a heartbeat."

Moby released his latest album ‘Last Night’ through Mute Records on March 31.
