Body obsession 'killed Madonna marriage'

Madonna's split from Guy Ritchie was partly attributed to her obsession with her body image, a close friend has revealed.

The 'Vogue' singer reportedly insisted on keeping up a four-hour fitness programme, even if it came at the cost of spending time with Ritchie.

In the end, the film director often gave up waiting and went to see his friends instead, the insider added.

"He got more and more frustrated as she spent nearly half the day working out. Afterwards she’d be too tired to make love," the source commented to the News Of The World.

"Towards the end Guy wouldn't be there. He'd get fed up waiting for her and go down the pub with his mates. He is the one behind the split."

It has also been claimed this week that a row over money was behind the breakdown of their marriage.
