The ‘Celebration’ singer Madonna flew to Malawi yesterday - where she was joined by daughter Lourdes, 13, son Rocco, nine, and her two adopted Malawian children, David and Mercy, both four – with so many toys, bouncy castles and rocking horses that amazed onlookers joked their Kumbali Lodge apartment resembled the famous theme park.

Madonna is expected to appear in court in Malawi’s capital Lilongwe today to sign papers for the reported adoption of a second child from the country.

Madonna has taken a break from her world tour to ask fans to help her build a girls' school in Malawi.
