In response to the intense media speculation that Madonna and Guy's marriage is over, Guy's mother has spoken out and dismissed the rumours as complete and utter nonsense. She said, "It is absolute rubbish, worse than that. Guy will be furious at me talking to you but I feel I can't just let these reports go unanswered as they make me so angry and they are hurtful intrusions into their private lives."

Lady Amber Leighton said that when she chatted to Guy on Friday morning their conversation had been about his new film project and not his divorce, because there is no divorce.

She went on to say that marriage is not a bed of roses and can be tough for any couple, and Madonna and Guy are no different. In addition, they have hectic schedules and the very nature of their careers means they spend a lot of time apart.

"But", said Madonna's mother-in-law, 'Like other couples they work at keeping their relationship happy and fresh and they are a close and loving couple who have a family to bring up."

In the meantime, reports that Madonna sought legal advice from Sir Paul MacCartney's divorce lawyer, Fiona Shackleton, remain unconfirmed.

Madonna is keeping Mum, so, as we've said before, only time will tell.
