Madonna talks of love at first sight

Madonna has revealed that it was love at first sight when she saw her film director husband Guy Ritchie playing tennis topless.

In an interview with Michael Parkinson, Madonna said: "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," she said.

In the interview, which is part of a special show dedicated to the singer, Madonna also admitted to throwing tantrums. "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 said.
