SHE WAS A POP SENSATION, AN ICON, PEOPLE EVERYWHERE LOVED HER, AND YOUNG GIRLS WANTED TO BE JUST LIKE HER. SHE SOLD OVER 10 MILLION RECORDS NATIONWIDE, STARRED IN HER OWN FILM, AND EVEN LAUNCHED A SUCCESSFUL PERFUME. SO WHERE DID IT ALL GO WRONG FOR BRITNEY SPEARS?

This Friday Channel 4 takes a look at those who have cashed in on Britney's meltdown, at an estimated £60 million, and why ordinary people like us think we're the only ones who can save this troubled pop princess.

After marrying Kevin Federline and settling down with two beautiful boys, everyone thought Britney had finally put a lid on her crazy party lifestyle. Little did the world know it was the start of a roller coaster ride for the once most talked about women in the world.

In Saving Britney Spears, director Bruce Fletcher takes a road trip across America in search of those who have made a business out of Britney's turbulent lifestyle. From a pimp turned preacher, to a working mum who feels Britney could be her 'new Princess Diana', and a family friend who writes letters of support in Britney's home town of Kentwood, Louisiana. Will one of these people be able to finally save the girl that first burst onto our screens?

Tune into Channel 4 on Friday 1st August at 7.30pm to find out.
