Catch Britney's Sitcom Return

A clip of Britney Spears' second appearance on US sitcom How I Met Your Mother has hit the internet.

Her first appearance on the show a few months ago got record figures for the show and was given a big thumbs up by critics.

In the clip, the pop star's ditzy character, Abby, is dating Barney – played by Dougie Howser MD star Neil Patrick Harris - yet she still longs for his friend Ted.

Some of it was featured on US TV show Entertainment Tonight last night – here’s that report for you to take a look at.

The episode is scheduled to air on US TV on May 12.
