Britney Spears' new Brit bodyguard Damoin Shippen, who also doubles as a manny to her kids, reportedly used to sell porn and sex toys over the internet.

The news comes from gossip site X17online who claimed that a source had revealed Shippen's past to them.

The source also revealed to the site that Shippen's links to the world of porn and sex toys was the reason why he was fired from his former employment agency, Galahad Security.

The news comes just as Britney has denied rumours that she and Shippen were in a relationship.

The rumours started circulating after he was seen attending church services with Spears and her two young sons last weekend.

The pair was also spotted having an intimate dinner on Independence Day at the Four Seasons in L.A, after which, he slept over at the singer's Beverly Hills home.

The next day, Spears and Damon caught 45 minutes of the hit musical 'Wicked,' and later had drinks at L.A.'s Chateau Marmont hotel, where a lot of snuggling and kissing was reported between the pair.

However, a source insisted to People magazine at the time that the two are not romantically involved, and that Shippen is just her minder who also double's as a 'manny' for her kids.

"He's her bodyguard and many. They're not dating," People quoted the source, as saying.

The source also revealed that though Shippen is "tickled" pink by the rumours, "but he really wants to focus on his job: taking care of the kids and of her."

Shippen, the source also reveals, has come to Britney's aid even when he was not in her employ.

In May last year Shippen, then a mustachioed guard for a security firm, caught Spears' son Sean Preston when the singer stumbled in New York.

So when he and the company parted ways soon after, Spears snapped him up.

"She doesn't have a nanny. When the kids are with her she takes care of them and she is a very hands-on mom. Daimon also sometimes helps her with the kids. She really would like to have them for more time than she does but she is willing to live with the agreement with Kevin (Federline) that she has now," the source reveals.
