Madonna may hire a body double for her new video - because her horse-riding accident has left her unable to dance.

The pop queen, who broke her hand, collarbone and ribs when she was thrown from her horse on her 47th birthday last week, is considering employing a look-a-like to star in the promo for new single 'Hung Up'.

An insider revealed to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "This is a club-friendly song, very dancey - and Madonna wanted the video to reflect that. It hasn't been shot yet, so they've gone back to the drawing board to rethink it."

Meanwhile, the injured star has attended several Kabbalah prayer sessions in a bid to help her heal faster.

Madonna, who is a devout follower of the mystic Jewish faith, visited London's Kabbalah Centre - with her arm in a sling - three times in 24 hours.

She has also been visited by the religion's leader, Rabbi Michael Berg, who flew over from Los Angeles especially to help her through her ordeal.

Madonna was rushed to hospital last Tuesday (16.08.05) after being left with a broken collar bone, three cracked ribs and a fractured hand in the horrific accident at her £9million English countryside estate.
