Troubled pop star Britney Spears's ex-boyfriend photographer Adnan Ghalib is upset with reports that he has a sex tape involving him and Spears and says he will take legal action against the publication that first published the story.

Thesun.co.uk reports Ghalib saying: 'There is no sex tape. I'm extremely upset and taking legal action.'

Spears was at the lowest point of her life when she was dating him - she was battling drugs, depression and a host of other problems. It was reported that a sex tape was filmed while the couple was holidaying in Mexico months back.

It was reported that Spears is trying to buy the tape back herself to stop it from getting on to the Internet.

Spears and Ghalib had dated in January of this year. She broke it off with him after she found out that he was trying to sell pictures of them.
