Madonna fell for topless Guy

Madonna has admitted it was love at first sight when she saw film director husband Guy Ritchie topless.

In an interview with Michael Parkinson, the Queen of Pop said his sense of humour and movie talent also proved a big turn-on.

She told the chat show host: "I saw him with his shirt off playing tennis and that was a big plus and then I sat next to him at a lunch and he was incredibly witty and that was another big plus.

"I think sense of humour is important and finally I saw his first movie and I thought God he's incredibly talented. So those three things put together were a huge aphrodisiac."

Parkinson dedicates the whole of his programme on Saturday to Madonna ahead of another expected Number One chart success with her latest single, Hung Up.

Madonna also revealed she is still prone to throwing the "odd temper tantrum" at the ripe old age of 47, although she has calmed down.

She said: "I'm a very dramatic person and when I do things I can do them in a very big and spectacular way, so yes I probably had some very big spectacular tantrums."

She explained she had less hissy-fits because she was "much more in control of my big fat ego".

The mother-of-two also revealed her secrets of domestic bliss.

"There is a lot of one-upmanship going on, I have to say. You do have to learn to say I'm sorry, even when you don't mean it and I'm telling you, if you say it even when you don't mean it, it really gets you a long way, okay? Just a little secret for everybody."

:: Parkinson is shown on ITV1, Saturday, at 9.45pm.
