Madonna's dad says she's pregnant

Madonna's dad says she's pregnantTony Ciccone confirmed the news from his home in Sutton's Bay, Michigan.

He said: "We're very excited that she's expecting again."

Madonna has repeatedly denied recent rumours she's pregnant.

The couple have made no secret about wanting another child.

The Sunday People quotes her father as saying: "I don't know if Madonna's child is a boy or a girl yet - we just want the baby to be healthy."

When pressed for further details, he then said: "It's an area I can't really talk about - we just want it to be healthy. Look this is stuff I can't go into. Of course it's an exciting time. We were delighted when we heard, but I can't talk about it."
