Madonna has denied she ditched her personal trainer Tracy Anderson over the workout expert's new relationship - insisting she just wanted to try adifferent fitness regime.

Anderson worked with the Holiday superstar for three years and is credited with helping the singer achieve her toned, lithe body.

Madonna was reportedly so impressed with Anderson's skills in the gym, she introduced her to pal Gwyneth Paltrow, who also hired the trainer.

I simply wanted to try a new method of working out when my tour ended

But the Material Girl was reportedly fuming when Anderson struck up a relationship with Philippe van den Bossche - the former head of Madonna's Raising Malawi charity.

It was also alleged Anderson refused to accompany Madonna on the secondleg of her European tour due to family commitments, with sources statingthe singer was sick of the fitness guru's "baggage".

But the singer has blasted the reports, insisting she had no issues with Anderson and van den Bossche's romance and is still pals with the pair.

She tells NewYork gossip column PageSix, "I did not ditch or fire her. I simply wanted to try a new method of working out when my tour ended. Weremain friends and I wish her and Philippe all the best".
