Christopher Ciccone has blamed Guy Ritchie for the disintegration of his relationship with Madonna.

The TV chef admitted to Metro that he became estranged from his sister when she met Snatch filmmaker Ritchie.

He said: "Guy Ritchie pushed it over the edge. My relationship with her was threatening to Guy. I suppose he felt insecure and wanted to push me out. It wasn’t necessary. He's also very uncomfortable with gay people."

Ciccone added that he was upset by a homophobic speech made by Ritchie's best man at his wedding to the Queen of Pop.

"The best man got up to do his 30-minute slide show and there was a picture of Guy's hand near a dog's penis and he said: 'Look he must be gay' and everyone, including Madonna, laughed," he explained. "There are no gay people in her life anymore. She only had straight dancers on her last tour, which was shocking."
