Britney leaves rehab

Britney Spears has left her rehab clinic in Malibu after a month's stay.

The singer, who is expected to pay ex beau Kevin Federline £10m in their divorce settlement, successfully finished her treatment yesterday after a shaky start in the centre, having left twice in the same week.

"[Britney has left] after successfully completing the programme," said Britney's spokesman Larry Rudolph in a statement.

"We ask that the media respects her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time."
