DENIAL: Former chief Dominique

Strauss-Kahn MADONNA will be performing at the Brits, the star has confirmed.

The 56-year-old singer was previously rumoured to be on the bill for the music awards ceremony, when her spokeswoma­n called the news “just speculativ­e”.

Now she has posted a message to her fans on Twitter, saying: “Hello to all my UK Rebel Hearts! See you at the Brits on February 25”.

Madonna, who is releasing new album will also be on stage at the Grammys next month.

The star last performed at the Brits back in 1995, when she sang

Sam Smith heads the nomination­s for this year’s awards after being shortliste­d for five gongs, while Ed Sheeran and George Ezra follow with four each.

It was previously announced that Sheeran and Smith as well as Taylor Swift will be on stage at the event, at the O2 in London and broadcast on ITV. A MISTRESS of Dominique Strauss-Kahn received a £900 pair of designer boots and the promise of “learning new sex games” in return for attending orgies, it is alleged.

The claim is a crucial part of the evidence in the former Internatio­nal Monetary Fund chief ’s pimping trial, which entered its second day in Lille, northern France, yesterday.

Strauss-Kahn, 65, faces up to 10 years in prison if it is proved that he paid women to attend sex parties all over the world.

The “girlfriend” in the case, identified only as “Sylvie”, told police that if she became his regular mistress, Strauss-Kahn would reward her with gifts and sex games, rather than cash. Sandrine – are civil plaintiffs in the case.

Some, who are not appearing in court, allege being forced into “brutal” sex with Strauss-Kahn.

One, named Marie-Anne, said the would-be President of France, claimed he committed a “bestial act” during a particular­ly “violent” sex session in Washington DC in December 2010.

David Roquet, one of 13 co-defendants in the dock with StraussKah­n, is said to have held the woman down while the act took place.

Marie-Anne abandoned a lawsuit for rape, but refused to take part in any more orgies with Strauss-Kahn, according to court documents.

Defence barristers for Strauss-Kahn complained that allegation­s emerging in court were a violation of his rights to privacy.
