Norton: 'I want to interview Madonna'

Graham Norton has admitted that he is desperate to interview pop queen Madonna.

The Irish comedian has grilled female pop stars including Cher, Mariah Carey and Britney Spears during his nine-year chat show career, but has yet to meet the 'Ray of Light' star.

He told Heat: "I'm now with the same publicist (as Madonna) and I've named my dog after her - what more do I have to do? Jesus, I pay to see her in concert, I buy the albums...OK, I don't see the movies.

"Maybe if I'd seen Swept Away she'd do it. That would be the ultimate sacrifice."
