Britney Spears’ appeal to overturn a conservatorship ruling that was awarded to her father has been rejected by a Los Angeles court.
Jamie Spears was given control of his daughter's private affairs on 1 February after the troubled pop star was admitted to hospital for a mental health evaluation.
The singer's father has since reportedly quit his job as a caterer to tend to his daughter's financial and personal matters, a role he shares with court-appointed observer Andrew Wallet.
Last month, Jamie's conservatorship appointment was extended until 31 July.
Britney has challenged this, but a California appellate court has ruled that the motion was not filed with correct procedures and therefore the appeal was denied.
