Madonna fell off the stage whilst performing at the BRIT Awards with MasterCard.

The 56-year-old singer took a tumble whilst performing her hit 'Living For Love', ensuring that her first performance at the ceremony for 20 years was a memorable one.

Surrounded by dancers dressed as devils, she strutted around the main stage wearing a black cloak.

Whilst her team attempted to remove the garment, she slipped and went tumbling down the short staircase.

Like a true professional, though, she got back up and continued singing the track.

Twitter users took to the microblogging site to share short clips of the fall, with one writing: ''People harping on about how Madonna is such a professional, she fell over its hilarious just enjoy it, have a belly laugh. (sic)''

Another user shared: ''Jesus you shouldn't laugh but that was hilarious! Madonna one minute #magonna the next! (sic).''

Others also expressed their concern for the pop star, writing: ''I hope Madonna is ok. I joke about it now but when I first saw her fall, I literally gasped. I was so frightened. Couldn't believe it (sic)''

Another added: ''I'm still in shock with @Madonna falling on the #BRITAwards. She's a true superstar to carry on performing after that! I hope she's ok (sic)''

Earlier yesterday, Madonna admitted she was nervous ahead of the performance.

She wrote: ''Yes...........s****ing myself. Not gonna lie!

''Even though #bitchimmadonna #rebelheart (sic)''
