However, ‘Toxic’ might be her biggest hit as it won Spears her first and only Grammy Award, as well as being her most streamed song with over 900 million streams.

Fans soon put on their detective hats and worked out that the chart-topping Spears song is actually about the famous TV vet.

The website PopB**** (via Metro) explains: “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.”
This sent fans into meltdown and they soon began reacting to the revelation on social media.
One person says: “Found this fact out this week that it is a song written about C4 The Supervet Noel Fitzpatrick by Cathy Dennis. Blew my mind. Ace show, btw.”
“I’m still not over ‘Toxic’ being about Noel Fitzpatrick,” adds a second.
Someone else comments: “Today’s fun fact! The song ‘Toxic’ by Britney Spears is about Noel Fitzpatrick the Supervet.”

Holly Willoughby asked the Fitzpatrick if he knew anything about the lyrics ‘I need a hit, baby, give me it. You’re dangerous, I’m loving it’, before asking him if the song is about him.
“Are you who that song is written about? Is it you? Please say yes,” the presenter asked.
The animal doctor then responded: “You may have to ask Kylie Minogue whether ‘I Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’ (which is also written by Dennis) is written about me.”
Phillip Schofield also joined in on the jesting as he remarked: “You clearly have an influence.”
