She has branded her 1994 interview with the Material Girl for BBC show Ruby Wax Meets Madonna as her “most miserable showbiz experience”.

“I thought I was doing OK in showbusiness then they said, ‘Do you want to interview Madonna?’

“I thought we were going to bond but she hated me on sight.”

“We were setting up the cameras and she was saying, ‘No, no, no, I don’t want that camera, I want that camera.’ I got nervous and I was asking dumb questions and then she got up and left.”

Ruby, 59, who also famously put the singer’s underwear on her head during the interview, explains why she did it. “I needed to end the show with some comedy,” she explained on the BBC’s The Matt Lucas Awards.
