Oops, Britney Spears has done it again, uploading another video of herself dancing with knives in the build up to the release of her memoir.
Spears has uploaded several clips of herself to Instagram dancing with knives over the past few weeks.
Despite Spears saying the knives were props, fans flocked to social media in concern for the 41-year-old and police even visited the musician's house as part of a welfare check.
Warning: Do not try this - at least with real knives - at home.

Spears can be seen in several posts to her Instagram wearing a bikini and holding what appears to be two large kitchen knives.
The clips show her dancing around her house with the knives, one of the captions noting they are 'NOT real knives' but props.
After police visited her house after someone reported their concern for Spears' wellbeing, Spears lashed out at authorities, accusing them of having 'bullied' her.
She also reiterated to followers the knives were fake, claiming her team 'rented' them from 'Hand Prop shop in LA' adding: "No one needs to worry or call the police. I’m trying to imitate one of my favorite performers Shakira … a performance I was inspired by!!!
"Cheers to us bad girls who aren’t afraid to push boundaries and take risks."
In a post uploaded to Instagram earlier today (Wednesday, 18 October), Spears shared another clip of her dancing along to some music with the knives.
The footage shows her twirling and dancing around, but also banging the knives together - the sound very much like what two real knives would sound like when clashed together.
However, one again, Spears notes: "Come over don’t worry I have such a warm inviting loving home with these FAKE knives !!!"
Spears' latest knives dance post comes days before the expected release of her memoir The Woman in Me.
An excerpt from the book obtained by PEOPLE reveals Spears claims she got pregnant with Justin Timberlake's baby when the pair were dating in 2000.
The extract reads: "It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn’t a tragedy. I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I’d anticipated.
"But Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy. He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young."
Spears goes on to state the pair decided for her to have an abortion, but 'never would have done it' if the decision was 'left up to [her] alone'.
The Woman in Me is set for release on 24 October.
