Madonna has come up with a string of bizarre demands for the UK leg of her tour, The Mirror claims today.

The singer has requested that her dressing room toilets have a brand new loo seat for each night of the Confessions tour, which begins in Cardiff on Sunday.

A source revealed, "The seat has to be inspected by her people, then installed - with an unbroken seal - by plumbers before each gig."

Madge has also asked for three special Kabbalah candles - a 'DNA of the Soul' candle, which restores meaning to lives, a 'Power of Prosperity' candle which helps the star to remain unaffected by fame, and an 'Evil Eye' candle which protects against negative glances.

A foot spa and a new lick of white paint for her dressing room have also been requested by the singer.

Madonna's spokesperson Liz Rosenburg confirmed that cleanliness is very important to the star, adding, "And who wouldn't want a new toilet seat wherever they go?"
