"Britney Spears has revealed that she suffered panic attacks on her first day as a judge on The X Factor USA. The 30-year-old singer admitted that she was overcome by nerves when she started her new job.  &amp;quot;[I was] extremely nervous. I was having panic attack after panic attack,&amp;quot; she told Elle. Spears began filming for the show in May but co-judge Simon Cowell said she has grown into the role throughout the audition process. He revealed: &amp;quot;On the first day, 100% she didn&amp;#039;t think she was going to be able to do this. It&amp;#039;s the Roman Colosseum \u2013 5,000 people booing if you say no. &amp;quot;But I&amp;#039;m seeing this woman blossom week by week doing this. I think she&amp;#039;s going to be good for the show, and I think the show is going to be good for her.&amp;quot;   Spears was revealed as the cover star for the October issue of Elle magazine yesterday. She later tweeted her excitement: &amp;quot;Had SOOOO much fun doing this @ELLEmagazine shoot - hits stands next week!&amp;quot; The issue features an interview with Spears and fianc\u00E9 Jason Trawick where he admits it was Britney who made the first move in their relationship.
