Kevin Federline leaves hospital after heart scare

Britney Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline has been discharged from hospital after he sought medical treatment for chest pains while shooting a fitness TV show in Australia.

The former dancer, father of the Toxic hitmaker's two sons, is currently trying to lose weight on fitness reality series Excess Baggage and he was hospitalized after completing a training session with an Australian Football League (AFL) team in Sydney on Monday (23Jan12).

Medics initially feared Federline had suffered a heart attack, but doctors at the Mount Druitt Hospital later found this wasn't the case and kept him in for further tests.

Federline was allowed to leave the medical facility late on Monday night (23Jan12), but will see a cardiologist before he returns to the TV set on Friday (27Jan12).

A statement from the Fremantle Media production company reads, "Kevin Federline has been given the all-clear after spending the day in medical care... After more tests, he was released late last night. Kevin is now at home with his family and will undergo further investigation with a cardiologist today. He is expected to be back on set Friday."

The 33 year old has previously been treated for heat exhaustion on the series.
