Gary Neville is laughing all the way to the bank after Madonna booked out his entire hotel.

The former footballer, 48, rented out the whole of the five star Stock Exchange Hotel in Manchester to the pop star, 65, who is in town to rehearse for her upcoming tour.

Pundit Gary owns a major stake in the hotel along with his former team-mate Ryan Giggs.

Madonna arrived in the UK last week with three huge vans full of her belongings in tow.

She was seen driving her own Range Rover and has brought three Peloton exercise bikes to help keep her fighting fit ahead of the shows.

Madonna is said to have rented a space close to the hotel where she will rehearse before her tour beings at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday for four nights, before it heads to Europe.
