ET has the latest...

BRITNEY SPEARS, here in a new photo from "How I Met Your Mother," opened up about her latest stint on the CBS comedy where she reprises her role as Abby, the receptionist who teams up with Barney (NEIL PATRICK HARRIS) to get back at Ted (JOSH RADNOR).

"I had such a great experience the last time I was on the show that I couldn't wait to come back," she said. "I was really looking forward to working with this cast and crew again. Everyone was so nice. Abby is going to have a lot of fun!"

Britney's "Mother" episode airs Monday, May 12 at 8:30 ET.
