Madonna orders yoga class to leave

Madonna asked a yoga class to leave a gym because she wanted to practise on her own, say reports.

The singer allegedly asked the teacher and the other 25 members to quit midway through the weekly class at the Reebok Sports Club in New York.

One member said: "When Madonna started talking to the instructor and he told her talking wasn't allowed, she replied, 'I need to speak to you', and then said to the class, 'I want you all to leave'."

The instructor and students then left, leaving Madonna to practise alone.

She also reportedly refused to leave the room when a dance class wanted to use it later in the morning.

Her spokesperson said: "That sounds unlikely."
