We're sure we'll never need Madonna's new diet trick.

Madonna has always been an empowering symbol for women. She’s shown the world that women can be strong, powerful and damn sexy all at the same time.

From 15 years old to 50 (and beyond) women have been amazed by her physique – her form, her rock hard abs and perky stone solid butt. We wonder how the hell a woman at any age can keep maintain it.

Sure she's a talented singer and dancer and knows how to sell a brand like no other popstar since...ever and we admire her for that. But her never changing bod - it's got us baffled. Until now...sort of.

We thought it must've taken thousands of crunches a day added to hours of pumping, burning, curling and dipping to carefully sculpt every crevice of muscle on her perfectly taught form. But we never guessed that Madonna aka the holy grail of women's empowerment had a sneaky diet secret. One we've never heard of before.

The 56-year-old singer, who is about to go on her Rebel Heart tour has just admitted that she has a strict diet rule she adheres to.

She has someone watch every single morsel that passes her lips. Yep, she has an assistant that watches every single thing she eats and tells her when she needs to eat.

During an interview with Andy Cohen for Entertainment Weekly the singer said that she needs an assistant who keeps on top of her daily intake because otherwise she'd get too involved with preparations and rehearsals.

It's not someone to stop her eating - it's someone to make sure she is eating.

“I call her the food police,” Madonna told Cohen: “Are you eating? Did you drink enough water?" I’m like: ‘B***h, get off my pole!’”

Madonna's Rebel Heart tour was supposed to kick off this month (August) but she has delayed it by nearly two weeks.

She wrote on her Facebook page, "As my fans already know, the show has to be perfect...Assembling all the elements will require more time than we realised. I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause my fans. I can promise you this show will be worth the wait. Can't wait to share it with all my Rebel Hearts out there."
