Britney Spears‘ dad is reportedly gearing up to lay down the law — because he wants his superstar daughter to add more dates to the UK leg of her Circus world tour.

Jamie Spears — who was made conservator of Britney’s affairs after her 2008 meltdown — is apparently keen for his daughter to cash in on her sky-high popularity.

But the Toxic singer, 27, is said to be resisting adding more dates — because she is already struggling with the grueling schedule.

“Jamie can’t physically force Britney to get on stage and do more concerts, but he does have nearly all the power,” an insider told British magazine Reveal. “He controls the purse strings and can make things very difficult for Britney if he chooses to.

“He gets to dictate her schedule — where she goes, who she sees, who she doesn’t see. He’s in charge of everything to do with her life. It’s a battle of wills over who will win – but while her dad remains in charge, he’ll be laying down the law.”
