Madonna is removing all traces of Guy Ritchie from the couple's London home.

The US singer - who was granted a decree nisi in her divorce from Guy just over a week ago - has reportedly made plans to get rid of love tokens given to her by the film director and changed the answer phone message at the house they once shared.

A source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "She's removed all photographs of the pair of them, leaving only the ones featuring Guy with the children. The joint answering machine message has been replaced with a neutral one.

"Many of the presents Guy gave her have been packed up, things are turning ugly."

Despite Madonna's purge, Guy, 40, has invited the singer to spend Christmas with him and sons Rocco, eight and adopted David, three, as well as her daughter Lourdes, 12.

A source said: "Guy will have the boys at Christmas time. He wants to treat them like kings and celebrate the old fashioned way. It's not something that's happened in the past because it's not in accordance with Madonna's Kabbalah faith.

"I believe he has asked his ex-wife and her daughter to join them. Even though she doesn't celebrate, Guy thinks it's a good way to try to move on in a civilised way."

Meanwhile, Madonna, 50, has been staying over with rumoured boyfriend, baseball star Alex 'A-Rod' Rodriguez.

The pair were seen together in Mexico City for the concluding North American dates of Madonna's "Sticky and Sweet" tour on last Saturday. The tour will now head to South America and conclude on December 21.
