A jobseeker was left red-faced after forgetting he had set his voicemail to be read by Britney Spears - until a 'Royal Navy interviewer left him a message suggesting he change it'. Callum Formby forgot he'd set his phone to play a mock-up of The Princess of Pop telling callers to leave a message until he was applying for his dream job in the military.
The embarrassed 23-year-old has since revealed he only remembered when a man who Callum claims to be a Royal Navy interviewer called to discuss an air traffic controller job on a ship that he'd applied for. In his viral video 'Britney' can be heard telling the officer 'sometimes my friend can't come to the phone' and to leave a message - with her iconic song 'hit me baby one more time' playing in the background.
The bizarre message tone ends with the pop star saying 'baby they'll call you back one more time' as a pun on the hit's lyrics. The seemingly deadpan officer says 'good afternoon Britney' and asks her to pass on a message telling Callum to 'A, change his voicemail and B, get in touch with the Royal Navy'. Callum says he was nervous to return the call after hearing the message and claims that when he did the officer jokingly asked if he's the 'Britney boy'.
