Britney Spears and Boyfriend Jason Trawick in Steamy Sex Scenes

Trawick appears as her knight in shining armour, knocking the boyfriend out before speeding off with Britney on his motorcycle.

The bad boy soon leads the pop star astray though, into a world of crime. The pair hold up a store with guns in scenes filmed in London last month.

They are chased down by the police to their hideaway. But the couple's passion can't be tamed even as the authorities gun down the walls.

The embrace as bullets pierce the walls and their belongings are destroyed, before the pair make their getaway.

Britney and Jason began dating in early 2010, going public with the romance in May. a spokesperson confirmed at the time that they had 'decided to end their professional relationship in order to focus on their personal one'.

The risque nature of the video isn't the only controversy Criminal has caused. Hackney council officials were angered in September when Spears filmed the video, which they deemed to be glamourising violence, in one of the hotspots of the August riots.

After pictures emerged of Spears escaping Stoke Newington Town Hall with a replica gun in hand, MPs voiced their anger that they had not been informed of the nature of the video when they agreed to filming taking place.

A council spokesman said at the time: ‘While the agreement was for anonymous use of Stoke Newington Town Hall, we did not agree a replica gun could be used. We are disappointed the film crew made a last-minute change to the scene.’

The production company has apologised, she added.
