Congratulations, Britney Spears! The much-loved star was honoured with a Vanguard Award at GLAAD Media Awards last night in recognition of her work promoting equality and acceptance of LGBTQ people.
Ten years ago Britney had a well-publicised breakdown. In this week's Closer magazine insiders have revealed the secret behind her huge transformation
Back in February 2007 Britney Spears was pictured shaving her hair and attacking a paparazzi's car with an umbrella, a year later and she was sectioned and taken out of her home in LA on a stretcher.
Her emotional and well-publicised breakdown shocked the entire world but fast forward ten years and she's finished her four-year residency in Las Vegas, her dad reportedly wants her to take full control over her finances and she's co-parenting her children Sean, 12 and Jayden, 11 with her ex-husband Kevin Federline.
Now friends have revealed that the 36-year-old star's transformation is down to changing her diet and exercise and her personal trainer boyfriend Sam Asghari.

Celebrity red carpet transformations (slider)
1 of 15Amy Childs
In the early TOWIE days, the red head's uniform of choice was a diamante-encrusted babydoll dress and lashings of fake tan.
2 of 15Binky Felstead
Bink's red carpet debut is miles away from her current aesthetic - which is very 'glowy, yummy mummy who is perennially sipping kale juice'.
3 of 15Cheryl
Yeah sure, 'Cheryl full stop' is happy and living 'in a bubble of love', but Cheryl Tweedy had STYLE. Those hoop earrings and flesh-baring mini dress? We are so into it.
4 of 15Kardashian family
Hold on, one minute! Before 'miracle' creams and contour palettes, the Kardashian family look normal? There is hope for us all!
5 of 15Katy Perry
You know that annoying moment when you have overslept and have a glitzy award ceremony to attend? And getting changed out of your pjs is too much effort? Yeah that.
6 of 15Jennifer Lawrence
A young J-Law used to have a penchant for waist-clinching belts and shirt dresses. Very Gok Wan, if we say so ourselves.
7 of 15Kendall and Kylie Jenner
Kendall and Kylie have always been a fan of matching their red carpet assembles -* even* if it is cropped waistcoats and neon pink tights. Kudos to the bravery, girls.
8 of 15Rihanna
Oooh the wrath of teenage rebellion! Bad Gal Ri Ri has always been one to showcase her edgy side.
9 of 15Holly Hagan
ERRR... HOLLY IS THAT YOU?! We haven't seen a transformation this drastic since the Peter Beale days.
10 of 15Charlotte Crosby
Charlotte Crosby didn't always look so perfectly preened, but that's why we love her, right?
11 of 15Gemma Collins
Remember when Miss Collins used to be a brilliant brunette? US NEITHER. Thank you internet.
12 of 15Gigi Hadid
Of course there isn't a bad picture of Gigi anywhere on the internet. She looks BABEIN'.
13 of 15Rita Ora
Rita's look has gone in full circle and has now opted for her natural curls and caramel hue. We are uh-bsessed.
14 of 15Selena Gomez
Selena has come A LONG WAY from her polka-dotted sartorial horror. Now she's one of the best dressed gals in pop.
15 of 15Victoria Beckham
We don't know about you, but we are LOVIN' young VB's look. The cut out white kick-flares, the halter neck... THE SMILE.
An insider told Closer Magazine: "Sam’s been an incredible influence on Brit and after years of going from one bad relationship to the next.
"He overhauled her diet and exercise plan and encouraged her to take up yoga, meditation and Tai Chi, acupuncture and Reiki to help stay balanced and help her stay calm and focused amid any stress which comes her way."

They continued "She now feels she’s found the right balance of work and family life – making more time for her relationship with Sam and her boys and being extremely strict with her team about ensuring she’s never away from any of them for long periods.
"It’s taken her a long time to turn it all around but she’s worked incredibly hard to get her life back on track, find her Mr Right and focus on what makes her happy.
"She’s excited for what her future holds and knows she’s a survivor."
Go Britney!
