Guy Ritchie's dad has revealed that his son is scared Madonna will take the kids away from him.

The film director demanded equal custody of Rocco, eight, and adopted son David, three, but fears that Madonna won't stick to the deal.

John Ritchie, 78, told Closer magazine: "The children are in New York with Madonna at the moment. Our worry is she won't send them back, and Guy hopes she won't keep them.

"It's fantastic that they have finalised their divorce quite painlessly. But for him it was never about the money. I'm proud of how he's dealt with it all.

John added that he wasn't upset that they parted and is pleased for Guy that it is over.
