Madonna racks up parking fines
Sep 29, 2005, 11:23 GMT
Madonna has racked up a staggering £2,500 in car parking fines - because she makes her driver park illegally while she's in the gym.
The pop diva is chauffeured to her plush London fitness centre twice a week, and allegedly makes her driver wait on a single yellow line while she works out.
Traffic wardens first noticed the singer's car waiting for her in august last year - and since then they have caught the driver parked outside more than 50 times.
He reportedly told wardens he wasn't able to move on, but would keep the star's car - which varies between a BMW, a Mercedes and an Audi - moving backwards and forwards at all times so he isn't technically parked.
A source told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper: "We have watched the wardens do it week in week out. They wait in a park round the corner and suddenly appear. Madonna's driver has started getting really irate. He says to them, 'You know I can't move, you know what I'm here for, so if you're going to ticket me just get on with it and get out of here'."
