Britney Spears’s memoir is finally available to the public after pre-publication excerpts sent shockwaves through the entertainment world.

Ahead of its release on 24 October, Spears’s autobiography, titled The Woman in Me, appeared to accidentally go on sale in Mexico.

It is published by Simon and Schuster in the UK.

Among the biggest headlines to come out of the book so far are claims that Spears had an abortion while she was dating Justin Timberlake.

She also detailed the aftermath of their split, from the fallout from Timberlake’s hit song “Cry Me a River” to her fling with Irish actor Colin Farrell.

One subject that does not feature in The Woman in Me, however, is Spears’s recent divorce from ex-husband Sam Asghari after 14 months of marriage.

According to reports, Spears gave her final sign-off to Simon and Schuster mere weeks before it was announced that Asghari had filed for divorce, meaning she has “no right to demand any further changes”.
