Britney Spears has talked about the the passionate fling she had with Irish actor Colin Farrell, which she likened to a "brawl".

The pop princess, 41, dated the In Bruges actor, 47, in the wake of her split from Justin Timberlake, 42. Britney said how she decided that if "Justin was going to date, I was going to try and get out there too".

Recalling the moment she first laid eyes on Colin, Britney said she commented to a club promoter friend about how "handsome" she thought he was. After her pal told her his name and shared that he currently was shooting a movie, Britney decided she was going to put herself out there and make the first move.

Remarking how she had "balls", Britney shared how she drove to the set of his action movie S.W.A.T and went straight up to the soundstage, where she was invited to sit in the director's chair.

She said that following a set piece, Colin came up to her and asked: "Do you have any pointers for what I should do here?" After the flirty interaction, Britney said the pair went on to have a "two-week brawl".

Explaining her choice of wording, Britney said: "Brawl is the only word for it - we were all over each other, grappling so passionately it was like we were in a street fight."

Britney said that during that time, she attended the premiere for his movie The Recruit, which also starred Al Pacino. She shared how she mistakenly wore a pyjama top to the glitzy event, convinced it was a normal shirt thanks to the "miniature studs" adorning it.

The Stronger singer then candidly shared how she tried to convince herself they were "just having fun" as she had done "before when I'd felt too attached to a man".

But despite not fully being "over Justin", she said think at one point "there could be something there".

Ahead of her memoir being released, Britney deactivated her Instagram page as speculation went into overdrive about what could be in her hotly-anticipated memoir.

But after deactivating the page on Friday, it was reinstated once more on Saturday, as Britney returned to the platform with another one of her famous dancing videos.

Captioning the clip, which saw her show off her moves in a white dress, Britney penned: "CLASSIC !!! I made this dress, no lie !!! It snapped in the back when I started shooting, OF COURSE !!! I’ve waited three years to wear it … have no idea why ??"

Britney, who is often posting videos seeing her show off her dance moves in skimpy attire, shared why she uploads the eye-catching clips to her 42million followers, in an excerpt from her book, which was reportedly reviewed by The New York Times.

In the excerpt, she shared: "I know that a lot of people don’t understand why I love taking pictures of myself naked or in new dresses." She continued: "But I think if they’d been photographed by other people thousands of times, prodded and posed for other people’s approval, they’d understand that I get a lot of joy from posing the way I feel sexy and taking my own picture."

People also reportedly reviewed an excerpt from the book where Britney spoke about reportedly falling pregnant during her relationship with Justin Timberlake. She claimed the former N*SYNC star convinced her to have an abortion.

She reportedly wrote: "It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn’t a tragedy. I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I’d anticipated."

She continued: "But Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy. He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young."
