Britney Spears has likened her brief fling with Colin Farrell to a "street fight" in her highly-anticipated memoir, The Woman in Me.
The Princess of Pop, 41, had a two-week romance with Colin in 2003, following her split from Justin Timberlake. Britney met 47-year-old Colin through a "club promoter friend" and she said they grew close after she visited him on the set of his 2003 film S.W.A.T.
Britney has now broken her silence and said they had a "passionate" fling. It comes despite reports that she was forced to delay her memoir over concerns about possible litigation from Colin about the claims in her book.

Britney Spears described their romance as 'passionate' (Getty)"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 wrote in her memoir. However, after she attended the premiere of Colin's 2003 film The Recruit, he told reporters they were "just mates".

In her memoir, Britney admitted she wasn't over her three-year romance with Justin Timberlake by the time she had a fling with Colin. "As I had before when I'd felt too attached to a man, I tried to convince myself in every way that it was not a big deal, that we were just having fun," she wrote in an extract obtained by TIME.
The Toxic hitmaker said she felt "vulnerable" following her split from Justin. She also admitted that "for a brief moment in time," she believed there could be something serious in her fling with Colin.
Britney and Justin started dating when they were 17 and 18 back in 1998, having met on the set of The Mickey Mouse Club five years earlier. They remained a couple until 2002, when Britney moved on with Wade Robson.
Wade and Britney called time on their romance a year later before she had a brief romance with Colin. A source has claimed Britney was forced to remove some statements in her book following legal threats from Colin and Justin's lawyers.
The insider told The Sun : "Lawyers demanded to see her book in advance and were adamant that some of the revelations were removed. There are still plenty of gobsmacking tales but Timberlake and Farrell were conscious about what could be said about them."
