Madonna issues demand list to Ritchie

Guy Ritchie (pictured) was no doubt delighted when his two children - Rocco, 8, and adopted David Banda, 3 - touched down at Gatwick airport yesterday. He was probably less pleased, however, with the stringent list of demands that his soon-to-be ex-wife Madonna is said to have issued him with for the visit. The Daily Mail claims that the 50-year-old singer only allowed the children to return from New York if he abided to her commandments.

They include the following stipulations: that Madonna should be allowed phone contact with the children three or four times a day minimum at times set by her; that under no circumstances should they be allowed to read newspapers, magazines, watch TV or DVDs (presumably including Ritchie's movies); that they should adhere at all times to a macrobiotic diet and that the water they drink always be Kabbalah water (that is water drawn from a mountain spring and blessed by leaders of the religion.

Other demands include that they only wear the clothes Madonna has provided for them and that their hands should be regularly cleaned with disinfectant spray if they are in public places.

Ritchie is forbidden from discussing their separation and he is defintely not allowed to introduce Rocco and David to any new female friends. And at bedtime, Ritchie must read extracts from Madonna's series of English Rose story books.
