Madonna has been confirmed to appear on The Graham Norton Show in the new year.

The singer will join Andrea Riseborough and James D'Arcy to discuss her film directing debut W.E on Friday, January 13.

Norton said of Madonna's appearance: "I couldn't be more excited! This is my real Christmas present. I may have to retire, but that's not a promise!"

The broadcaster has previously described Madonna as the "holy grail" of chatshow guests, saying that he would be prepared to devote an entire show to her.

The US release of W.E, a historical drama on the relationship between British monarch Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, has been pushed back. Originally due to open on December 9, the film will now premiere in US cinemas on February 3, 2012.

The film is still due to open in the UK on January 20, 2012.
