Most of us would take a broken bone or five as an excuse to have a couple of months off work, with our nearest and dearest bringing us a constant supply of hot beverages. But Madonna, again, puts us all to shame.

She recently fell off a horse on her 1,200-acre estate on the Wiltshire-Dorset border and broke her collar bone, bones in her hand and cracked three ribs. She was treated at Salisbury District Hospital but has been discharged - and her spokespeople are saying the accident will not impact the release of her new album and all the publicity that goes with such a release.

Go, Madge! (oh… and if you don’t need him, can we borrow Guy to make hot beverages for us instead?)
