This proves how a smile can hide the deepest sorrow

Anyone else here is also watching this again with a different perspective after hearing Britney's powerful speech at the court?

Alan did so well to relax Britney. He’s so funny! Britney is very sweet.

She is literally the only celebrity I care about..she is so amazing, sweet and talented

She’s so polite & positive, while going through hell. #freebritney

You can actually see her demeanor change when Alan asks about the Vegas residency! She becomes nervous, keeps looking downwards and her voice quietens & wobbles a little. Now that we know her side of the story, you can't help but feel so sorry for her. She was just bullied into all these things. Also the song 'Work Bitch' has taken on a new meaning since her testimony 😔

I actually met her a few times in vegas while she was doing her residency, I work on the strip and she came by and was so sweet!! She talked to me for like 10 mins.

Poor Britney…she doesn’t look excited about Vegas at all. God bless this beautiful woman! Free Britney ♥️

Britney is like a modern day Marilyn Monroe. Both incredibly beautiful and popular, but used and exploited by Hollywood. I hope everything works out for Britney x

Bless her shopping in 99c shops cos her dad has her on a cheap ass budget while he’s living the high life on her cash.

I think he just brought her confidence up without even knowing it, maybe she should always carry that whip around and tell her team to "work bitch"!

I love when she talks about the matches. She really loves and appreciates the little things.

The Work Bitch segment in the end was genius! Actually so funny! Imagine being able to say Britney Spears told you to 'work bitch'

She's a doll.... so down to earth... a little clueless and just a real person.

She is so kind and unpretentious.

I love how some hosts have the ability to make the guest relax. Because those are the people that bring out the real Britney. She looked uncomfortable at times but he asked some solid questions she could naturally respond to and she really got into the skit. It was cute and funny.

I'm gutted they cancelled Alan Carr: Chatty Man as it was a good programme. It was very entertaining. I loved his humour and drinking alcohol with the guests. 💖

I don’t know how Alan does it, he’s so fucking funny. Love Britney

Britney is still trapped yet Cosby is let free What's wrong with this world...

23 years later and she’s still the same sweet, proper, polite and friendly young person.

LMAOOO 'They need a kick up the arse' *nods* 'ok'

I loved this interview! Alan was really funny and I loved how he made Britney laugh! I loved the last part when he was dragging her around and she was whipping around the studio! She's such a sweetheart and such a good sport! Beautiful woman inside and out! My biggest inspiration in life! It breaks my heart to know how badly she's been treated especially in the conservatorship! Free Britney! 🖤

I really hope she gets what she wants in life she’s entertained us for decades she deserves to have a break and be herself

I love Britney, she's the sweetest celebrity on Earth

You can tell that she is a sweetheart Her family is greedy

It breaks my heart after reading her book, Alan treated her so so well.

When I was a kid, I hated Britney, all the Hollywood stars and successful people because I was stupidly blinded by media and my own jealousy. I thought they had everything just because they're lucky. Now that I'm older and hopefully not so stupid anymore, I see what these people had to go through, how tragic lives the most of them have and that money and fame is not a key to happiness. Britney is an example of it. I didn't know how much hard work she's invested and how much freedom she's sacrificed. Regardless of the musical style preferences, I do believe she's incredibly talented, hard-working, beautiful woman with fragile heart and she deserves to be loved and appreciated. I wish I could help her get back her freedom that was stolen from her.

Oh my. She looks really uncomfortable yet she is such a professional and still smiles and plays along. This breaks my heart 💔

She still feels awkward when men or anyone talks about sex with her...she has PTSD, my heart breaks for her. You can see it in her sad beautiful eyes. THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF HOW THE INDUSTRY TEARS DOWN A GENUINELY INNOCENT GIRL/WOMAN, then and now...just saying. Bless her beautiful heart.

Fun fact: When a whip makes a cracking noise, it's the sonic boom of the tip breaking the sound barrier.

I have such a totally different perspective when I watch her today knowing what I know now verses then. Much admiration, respect, love, and I support this woman 100%. Rooting for her always.

11:43 a deep breath about how much hard work preparing for the tour.

I thought she looked uncomfortable and tired back then, but in light of the recent days it's even more heartbreaking. I always felt it was weird for her to be as naked as she's been while under other people's control, if that makes sense. Costumes are only empowering when they are completely your own choice.

You can see when Allan mentioned about her Vegas residency, she was looking down and not as cheerful as anyone would expect at all. Poor thing💜💜

Didnt appreciate britney when i was growing up, but now i see how talented she is. Been listening to all her music❤

Britney seems perfectly fine, able to handle a normal conversation, she is witty, funny, kind, sweet, soft, what in the world is wrong with them to keep her captive? :>(

This is adorable. I've always felt like the "mumma bear" to beautiful, talented Britney... Alan holding her hand and letting her let loose with the whip, that's top notch therapy 🙌💕

10:47 MICRO EXPRESSION about her Vegas residency! She was clearly forced into it :'(

I have so much respect for Britney Spears, She still stays so funny, humble, polite, smiling, so positive, Lovely and Beautiful. While she is going through so painfull and difficult times. I really hope that she will get her Freedom back🙏🏻 I find her the most powerful woman on this planet 💪🏻 #FreeBritney 🙏🏻💜

She’s so sweet and innocent. she’s just a simple girl that has immense talent and became a celebrity then used and abused by her own family just for money.

Hahaha, I love Britney at first she wasn't very sure to do this but at the end! She was enjoying it 😂😂😂😂

I feel so bad for her. She's been ruthlessly exploited, had a string of Ahole people in her life, suffered through a public breakdown and now she's being held in this damn conservatorship. I really hope she gets everything sorted out soon.

This song has a different meaning now after hearing her life struggles. Imo she is singing it to her family…

OMG!!! Alan is so funny and Britney is so humane and humble. Will always love her so much!

She was 5 years into her conservatorship and this video and many more prove she is more sane than most of us. Now we can see and understand the sadness in her eyes in these videos. Her own family tore her away from her kids to use her talent, energy, and time to generate money for them, use her properties, manage her funds, take it away... Wish her strength for success, love and peace.

This whole interview hits different now 😭 #freebritney

She always does a great interview, she knows how to work any room . ❤❤❤❤I wish her the best. So genuine!

She still looks amazing and she's always game for a laugh.

we love you Britney. Anything you need, just ask.

I love this clip of Britney & Alan....he seems to instictively understand how vulnerable & fragile she is and works hard at relaxing her & involving her in such a way that she actually appears to be enjoying herself.As others have stated I feel that Britney deserves to find freedom & happiness doing whatever she WANTS to do not what others are coercing her into doing.....that Vegas residency must have been awful,day in day out relentless dancing/lip syncing to the same tracks.

Britney’s fighting back and has a good lawyer! Sending her love on her journey to having control of her own future and being free to be with her children and really be apart of their daily lives!💛

She's so sweet! 💛 I'm crying for her and what she has been through!

Well done Alan that was brilliant

Watching this now, it feels like a thriller. Some type of psychological horror movie.

Is this like 2013? She's like the sweetest soul on the planet. If you don't feel empathy for her, are you even human?

Britney is so darn sweet. There is nothing crazy about her. She is so beautiful. That episode was so funny.

This one of my all time favourite moments from Alan Carr, I love Britney is so up for taking part and having loads of fun at the same time :-)

She was going through it. She is strong than stronger just like her song goes...❤

shes so innocent...bless her heart

Now we all understand why… she deserves her life and health back. Britney does not know how to get angry like everyone else. Even during her teens. In all interview she’s been polite and sweet even if she is being stabbed behind her back by those she trusted. And her family and management/ the conservatorship took advantage of that. They enslaved her. She is a victim of a human trafficking at its finest.

The most sweetest human absolutely beautiful my queen ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Such a team player. You can tell she was a little nervous at times but was still 🔥

She is finally free to shop, free to eat, free to love, and free to live. 💙

*_Britney ... Drop dead gorgeous !! Getting the respects she totally deserves !!_*

Britney needs people like Alan around her to lift her up... I love how he got her to laugh and smile ... And his questions were really good he just lead that whole interview soo well... Bless her heart! ❤💕

What a beautiful woman! She has always had a real personality thats why shes loved so much. Bless her heart

She's got such a gorgeous smile ... keep going Britney x

I think that must have been so empowering for her, cracking that whip. You could feel her getting more confident .

She's so cute and sweet :(

He is soo funny XD Even Britney was laughting and relaxing next to Him ^^

Shes such a lovely person and a massive sweetheart 🥺

Omg...... I laughed throughout the whole of this...... Best interview of Britney I have ever seen.... and that whipping at the end..... man that had me laughing in tears..... I really wasnt expecting to find that so funny lol. 👍👍

She is so fucking beautiful and adorable! I love her so much

I live for that laugh around 12.02.. I love it when she laughs like that!

Britney always seems so sweet! I hope she will find peace, happiness, and well-being. 💕

its like all the clues were right in front of us and we didn't notice

Why are British talk shows so fun? Or rather, why are American talk shows so stinking boring?

Poor poor girl,she looks on edge and scared to me,you can see she wants to relax but looks kinda scared,well done Alan for trying to make her feel welcome an loved...hope she gets her freedom real soon.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

British late night shows are much better than the Americans , the hosts are really naturally funny

What a lovely woman, I think she was starting to get carried away with that Whip.

#freebritney

Watching this now is like watching this through a very different pair of eyes to the ones I watched it through the first time. Knowing all the hardships and hell she's faced and is still enduring shows how incredibly controlled she is in her interviews and how she tries to keep her emotions from spilling out. The wonderful thing about British chat show hosts such as Alan Carr and Jonathan Ross is that they don't get too personal with her with the questions. They make it really silly and fun, taking off the edge because they don't want to make her feel under the scrutiny. Britney responds and thrives under fun and lively situations. Sadly though, she's been speaking of her ordeal with fame and control through her music for years. "She's so lucky, she's a star, but she cries cries cries in her lonely heart" - Lucky. "I know I may be young, but I've got feelings too, and I need to do what I need to do, so let me go and just listen..." - Slave 4 U. "There must be another way 'Cause I believe in taking chances But who am I to say what a girl is to do? God, I need some answers. I don't need nobody telling me just what I wanna What I, what, what, what I'm gonna (I need) do about my destiny I say no, no, nobody's telling me just what I wanna do, do I'm so fed up with people telling me to be someone else but me" - Overprotected. "I'm Mrs. 'Most likely to get on TV for strippin' on the streets' When getting the groceries, no, for real Are you kidding me? No wonder there's panic in the industry I mean please" - Piece Of Me. Then there's the album tracks. She's been very expressive in how she feels but no ones been listening to the clues...they've just been dancing to her music.
