Earlier this year, Ben Winston, the executive producer of James Corden's show, paid tribute to Adele and said how 'down-to-earth' he has always found her to be.

He said: 'She's a remarkable woman. She is the biggest star, I would say, in the world right now. But yet she's the most down-to-earth, lovely girl you could meet. I used to produce the Brit Awards when James hosted it, and she was on it a couple of times.

'I was always struck by how wonderful she was, even then. You sometimes wonder if success will change someone, but it wasn't with her. She's as wonderful as you would hope she would be.'
