Pop superstar Madonna is teaming up with British funnyman Ricky Gervais to help comedian Jerry Seinfeld launch his new TV show.

The singer will appear in Seinfeld's upcoming small screen series, The Marriage Ref, which will see a panel of celebrities judge the winner of domestic disputes between feuding couples.

Madonna is listed alongside Gervais as one of the panelists due to film an episode in New York next week.

And The Office creator is delighted to be taking part in the new series. He says, "Jerry's doing a new show about marriage guidance and he wants me to be involved. I pointed out that my ambition was to one day be nearly as good as him. It was amazing."

The show, which sees Seinfeld take on a producing role, is also expected to feature guest appearances from stars including Alec Baldwin, Tina Fey, and Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria Parker.

The series debuts on February 28.
