The Sun has revealed that Madonna has agreed to star in the series finale of Ricky Gervais hit BBC show, Extras.

Madonna and Ricky have been trying to collaborate in this way sionce they met at Live8 in 2005, but Madonna’s tour commitments meant that she couldn’t appear on the last series.

Ricky is said to be keen for for her to be his character Andy Millman’s nemesis.

David Bowie, Robert De Niro and Chris Martin are also rumoured to have signed up for the show.

Sounds interesting. Just how did a small fat man from England manage to lure all these A Listers onto his show anyway?
