Britney: 'Art is my spiritual therapy'

Britney Spears has revealed that she used art therapy to cope with her recent problems.

In her forthcoming documentary Britney: For The Record, the singer talked about how she fought back after her public breakdown, which saw her lose custody of her two children and be admitted into a psychiatric ward.

"Everyone has a world they create around themselves. If I have a lot of nervous energy, when I just start dancing it all goes away," she said.

"People think you go through something in your life and you need to go to therapy.

"For me, art is therapy because it's like you're expressing yourself in such a spiritual way."

In the documentary, Spears also claimed that she married Kevin Federline "for the wrong reasons".

Britney: For The Record airs on December 1 at 8pm on Sky1.
