Britney Spears tells how Federlines ambitions were the cause of her split and how dancing is helping her on the road to recovery.

Britney Spears has blamed her ex-husband Kevin Federline's failed rap career for the couple's break-up.

The pop star claims her romance with Federline was over long before she filed for divorce - because he was too busy building his own career to spend time with her.

She says, "He started to do an album for himself and he started to do things for himself, and I just never saw him anymore."

But she was still devastated when she realised the marriage was over: "When it ended I felt so alone. I didn't really wanna think about the reality of it.

He started to do an album for himself and he started to do things for himself, and I just never saw him anymore.

I never faced it I just ran."

The break-up brought back painful memories of her split from Justin Timberlake.

Spears adds, "He was a part of the magnitude of what I had become. So when he was gone I was like, 'What am I supposed to do with myself?' I was devastated."

Meanwhile in her continuing return to full health the star say she dances off the strains of life because rehearsal spaces and studios are like therapy meccas for the pop star.

The Toxic singer reveals she hits the dance floor whenever she's feeling down, stressed or troubled in her new Mtv documentary, Britney Spears: For The Record.

She explains, "Everybody has a world that they create around themselves. If I have a lot of nervous energy, when I start dancing it all goes away and I just feel emotion."

And she admits the dancefloor helped her control her emotions over the past 12 months, which saw her twice committed to hospital with apparent mental issues and in the midst of a bitter custody battle with her ex-husband Kevin Federline over their two young sons.

She explains, "People think that when you go through something in your life you need to go to therapy, but for me art is therapy because it's like you're expressing yourself in such a spiritual way.

"Sometimes you don't need to use words to go through what you need to go through. Sometimes it's an emotion you need to feel when you dance that you need to touch on and the only thing that can touch it is when you move a certain way."

The Mtv special airs in America on 30 November (08).
