Britney Spears has discussd her highly sexualised image, and revealed she is less than comfortable with the way she is portrayed in the media.
Her new video 'Work Bitch' was banned from UK TV recently, and cannot be screened before 10pm at night due to scenes which show Britney whipping her dancers and posing in various sexual positions. Now, in a new interview this week, she has revealed that she feels somewhat uncomfortable with her image, and as a mum of two, would prefer to be portrayed differently.
"We showed way more skin and did way more stuff for the video than what is actually there," she said in an interview with Amp Radio. "Like, I cut out half the video because I am a mother and because, you know, I have children, and it’s just hard to play sexy mum while you’re being a pop star as well. But you know, I just have to be true to myself."
When asked if there was 'another' Britney Spears, she revealed that she missed her early days when there was less sex in her videos and they focused more on her dancing - and less on her body.
"A lot of sex goes in to what I do, you know? But sometimes I would like to bring it back to the old days when there was, like, one outfit through the whole video, and you’re dancing the whole video, and there’s, like, not that much sex stuff going on," she added in the interview.
"It’s about the dance. It’s old school. It’s, like, keeping it real and just making it about the dance. I’d love to do a video like that.”

The director of Britney's 'Work Bitch' video later told MTV that "She does not do anything she doesn’t want to do. She’s in complete control the whole time," contradicting Spears' radio interview.
