Madonna has revealed how she has whiplash after her Brits fall and described her own performance as "a nightmare".
Appearing on the Jonathan Ross Show, Madonna said: "I'm a creature of habit I rehearse everything, everything, everything.
"I was thrown a wrench at the beginning of the performance. I was told to tie my cape and start much further back and I had to walk further and everyone was worried my cape was slide off so they tied it really tight around my neck.
"So here I am marching in like the queen, I got to the top of the stairs and I pulled the silky string and it wouldn't come undone.
"My two lovely Japanese dancers they basically strangled me off the stage. I had two choices, I could either be strangled or fall, and I
chose to fall."
chose to fall."
Wossy then tried to show a clip of the incident at the Brits, but Madonna said: "I don't want to see it, don't make me watch."
She added: "It was a nightmare, I like to be amazing, I rehearse and rehearse so when I do a show it is effortless and I create magic. I did the opposite, I actually created a horror show for everyone."

Wossy then asked if it was a stunt and she shook her head.
She added: "I'm never writing lyrics like that again the universe was trying to teach me a lesson.
"I didn't hurt my butt but I hurt my head.
"I know how to fall, I have fallen off my horse many times.
"I had little bit of whiplash, I smacked the back of my head. And I had a man standing over me with a flashlight until about 3am to make
sure I was compos mentis.
sure I was compos mentis.
"I am always nervous of live TV, when you singing you can't make any mistakes, the worst thing is you fall down stairs.
"I like to make my shows dangerous but then there is danger."
Asked about the cape, she added: "No more capes, cape fear is over."
Last night at the Brits, singer, 56 , stumbled down three huge steps as she began her performance to close the awards ceremony, but managed to carry on almost word perfect.
Shortly after the terrifying fall down a flight of stairs on stage during her live show, Madonna took to Instagram, where she wrote: "Armani hooked me up! My beautiful cape was tied too tight! But nothing can stop me and love really lifted me up! Thanks for your good wishes! I'm fine! #livingforlove."
The star added a snap of that soon-to-be-famous cape next to the explanation.
Twitter exploded as Madonna went absolutely flying after climbing the stage in a giant cape.
She was ironically singing the lyrics: "Not gonna stop, gonna carry on."
Madonna seemed to be in agony following the fall, but despite her obvious pain, she continued after a brief pause and some obvious heavy breaths as she recovered.
Following her performance, several members of her team ran to her aid, having been watching and waiting very closely in the wings.
The thump noise from her fall echoed throughout the arena, and members of the audience could clearly hear the microphone hitting the floor.
Having fallen to the floor, the star had trouble getting the cape off and someone eventually managed to yank it off, as she carried on singing.
The singer completed the performance, singing the lyrics: "Lifted me up, and watched me stumble.
"After the heartache I'm gonna carry on."
