Her super-toned physique turns heads wherever she goes. But despite a body that belies her 49 years, it seems Madonna is just like every other woman when it comes to hating one part of her body - her thighs.

A newly-released video shows the singer bemoaning the 'big fat thighs' she inherited from her mother. The video, apparently shot during recording sessions for her latest album, Hard Candy, reveals a little-seen insecure side to the normally confident star.

Despite wearing skimpy leotards on stage, she is heard on the clip pleading: 'Don't show my big fat thighs, whatever you do.'

The footage was shown during an interview on US television. Asked about her remarks, she made light of them, joking: 'My big Italian thighs. Very proud of them.'

But she added that she was happier with her legs now a new workout schedule had taken effect. 'My thighs aren't as chubby,' she said.
