Madonna avoids a drenching in splash tank on Ellen DeGeneres Show... as she volunteers son Rocco instead

Queens of Pop and water tanks don't exactly mix.

So rather than getting doused in water herself during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Madonna enlisted the services of her son instead.

The Turn Up The Radio hitmaker is seen here in a sneak peek of the episode, set to air on Monday, in which she appeared with 12-year-old Rocco, whose father is her ex-husband Guy Ritchie.

In you go: Madonna sent her son Rocco to the splash tank on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, with the episode set to air in full on Monday

Doused: Rocco sits in the tank as he gets drenched in water - helping to raise $10,000 for breast cancer awareness

When asked by the host who she wanted to dunk in the 'splash tank' she immediately responded: 'I don't have to think about it. My son is here and I want him in that tank.'

The youngster was covered in a few gallons of water but the prank certainly paid off, as it was done to raise $10,000 for breast cancer awareness.

Despite Madonna, 54, giving her son the opportunity to dance on stage and DJ during her MDNA tour, he revealed to Ellen his pop star mother is actually a strict parent.

Rocco said: 'She's a good mother. Yes. That's all I have to say. She's very strict but in a good way.'

When probed by Ellen on whether he had seen his mother's more risque dance routines, Rocco sheepishly replied: 'I actually don't see that.'

Madonna's 16-year-old daughter Lourdes recently revealed she has been a part of her superstar mother's world tour - she has a job folding her knickers backstage.

Lourdes wrote on her blog: 'This summer I was surprisingly productive. So, I thought I would tell you all about the joys of folding underwear. 

'As you probably know this woman I like to call my mother went on tour for her MDNA album. 

'As a summer job I decided to work in the wardrobe department. All of my friends were getting summer jobs and I wanted one too.'

All for a good cause: Each dunk during the month of October raises $10,000 for Susan G. Komen for the Cure
