Judge rules that Britney Spears' father should no longer have control of her finances

There have been celebrations outside a court in L.A., after a judge ruled Britney Spears' father should no longer have control of her finances.

Jamie Spears has been her conservator since 2008.

A judge ordered the 69-year-old to turn over the relevant documents to a certified public accountant, who's been appointed as temporary conservator of the singer's 60 million dollar estate.

Sky's US correspondent Greg Milam was outside court with Britney's fans when the judgement was made:
