Britney Spears made multiple threats to commit suicide in front of her two children during her three-hour stand-off with emergency services at her Beverly Hills, California, mansion, it has been revealed.

The Sunday Mirror reports:

During the deadlock, Brit sobbed hysterically and screamed at police to get out of her house – or face having her dead body on their hands.

“Get out of here. Leave me and my babies alone. Get out or I’m going to kill myself. I’ll do it. I’ll do it.”

She then demanded to speak to her ex-husband, Kevin Federline, in person, but when her request was refused by his lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan, she again vowed to end her own life.

“Britney told Kaplan she wanted to ‘sort this out with Kevin face-to-face’. Kaplan said ‘no’ and she started raising her voice and pacing up and down. She told him: ‘Tell him to stop pushing me. Tell him to stop making me feel like I’m not part of my own family. He doesn’t want to have to tell his children he killed their mother.’”
