Her lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, announced the news outside court in Los Angeles.

“Judge Penny today, after a hearing, decided to agree with Britney Spears. As of today, effective immediately, the conservatorship has been terminated, as to both the person and the estate,” Mr Rosengart said to cheers.
