Britney Spears has appeared to slam ITV amid claims an unnamed TV show cut parts of her interview, where she tried to discuss the conservatorship she was under at the time.
In her upcoming book Woman In Me, the Toxic singer slammed an unnamed TV channel for silencing her. Spears alleged that she was trying to speak about her conservatorship back in 2016.
In her memoir, Britney wrote: “I even mentioned the conservatorship on a talk show in 2016, but somehow that part of the interview didn’t make it to the air. Huh. How interesting.”

The Sun has claimed that the show mentioned was The Jonathan Ross Show, which aired on ITV. Her appearance on the programme was her last sit down television interview, during which she spoke about the legal hold she was under while talking about her new album at the time.

While speaking about Glory, Britney allegedly said that she couldn’t put out the exact music she wanted to create in the years previous due to her conservatorship. Jonathan allegedly did not ask further questions but acknowledged that everyone understood she’d had a hard time.
The Sun reported that a member of the audience claims Britney said: “I have [had] this conservatorship for years and I felt like a lot of decisions were made for me, so I wanted this to be my baby and I’ve been really strategic about it.”

According to The Sun, an insider claimed that “Britney’s team were left stunned by her decision to speak out for the first time, sparking a series of internal meetings in ITV HQ”.
The source said: “Everyone was shocked – the conservatorship was always there but never spoken about. The fact Britney raised it on one of the biggest shows in the UK set off alarm bells. A series of meetings quickly took place as to how to control the situation – the priority switched to keeping the comments off air.”

Continuing on, the insider claims “there was a lot of back and forth” but ITV decided to “play ball and remove all mention of the conservatorship”. Jonathan Ross has never addressed the situation.
Spears was freed from her conservatorship five years after the interview aired.
Daily Star has approached ITV for comment.
