Malawi’s High Court has given the go ahead for Madonna to adopt twin girls, bringing the total of children she has taken in from Southern  African country to four.

The US singer’s previous adoptions stirred anger among some Malawians who accused the government of allowing the pop star to skirt laws that ban non-residents from adopting children.

Madonna had denied reports that she wanted to adopt again after she visited Malawi last month, at the time saying her trip was for her charity work, but it has transpired she was seeking to take in Esther and Stella Mwale, as exclusively revealed by MailOnline.
