‘I felt terrible!’ Adele admits she deeply regrets rejecting a collaboration with Peppa Pig during a review Instagram live, insisting she feels ‘terrible’ for her actions
At midnight on Friday, Adele sent fans wild as she dropped her first track in five years, with Easy On Me seeing her reflect on the breakdown of her marriage to Simon Konecki.
But amid the furore around her single, Capital Breakfast hosts Roman Kemp, Sian Welby and Sonny Jay took the opportunity to focus on more pressing matters – her rejection of the lovable swine.
Last week, the Someone Like You hitmaker answered a firm ‘No!’ in response to a fan questioning if she’d do a collab with Peppa during an Instagram livestream.
And in a shock to Adele, the radio hosts played a voice note from the Peppa Pig actor, which said: ‘Hello Adele *snort*, that made me really really sad when you said you wouldn’t collaborate with me! Why not! Don’t you like me?’

And after clarifying that it was indeed the real Peppa Pig actor, Adele responded: ‘Firstly of all babes, Peppa that aint’ the one of you I know. That’s not the same voice that I grew up with with my son.
‘Oh my gosh, but Peppa I spent three years watching you [laughs]. I deeply regret it, anytime you want to go jumping in muddy puddles and singing in muddy puddles, I’m with you babes. I felt terrible the second I said it!’
Roman responded: ‘Out of all the things, did I take it too far with Peppa Pig’, with Adele adding: ‘I know, I did, I had no idea what I was doing!’
Meanwhile, the superstar admitted that the presenters were making her ‘homesick’ before revealing she’s heading back to the UK very soon.

Beef? And in a shock to Adele, the radio hosts played a voice note from the Peppa Pig actor, which said: ‘Hello Adele *snort*, that made me really really sad when you said you wouldn’t collaborate with me! Why not! Don’t you like me?’
Sorry! ‘I deeply regret it, anytime you want to go jumping in muddy puddles and singing in muddy puddles, I’m with you babes. I felt terrible the second I said it!’
She explained; ‘I’m coming back soon actually, I’m coming really really soon. I just had to wait for my NIE or something to get back here…’
Roman said in response: ‘Oh that’s too much complication at the moment’, with Adele remarking: ‘Yeah I got locked out from home, but I was there a lot last year and it was lovely.’
When asked if she’ll get a ‘decent’ cup of tea upon her return, Adele said: ‘Oh 100%’ before admitting to going to extreme lengths to ensure she has a taste of home, revealing she struggles to get a decent cup in LA as the ‘dairy is different’.
She said: ‘ You can’t no, because the dairy is different. You know the cows. I’ve got PG tips all the time, I carry them in my handbag!

Easy On Me was released at midnight on Friday, with the official music video already racking up over 50million views on YouTube.
Fans flooded to social media to react to the powerful ballad, with many revealing they were left crying hysterically at Adele’s moving vocals.
The single went down a storm with fans who took to Twitter to claim it was giving them ‘goosebumps’ and making them ‘sob’ – with one going as far to claim it made them want to get a divorce themselves.
The lyrics include the lines, ‘We’re both so deeply stuck in our ways, you can’t deny how hard I’ve tried. I changed who I was to put you both first,’ as well as, ‘Go easy on me. I was still a child, didn’t get the chance to feel the world around me, had no time to choose, what I chose to do, so go easy on me…
‘I had good intentions and high hopes but I know it now probably doesn’t even show.’
Fans voiced their approval on social media, with one simply penning: ‘Adele’s new song = goosebumps! Never in doubt of that queen!’

Another agreed: ‘Goosebumps listening to that new Adele drop. What a beautiful song man!’
A third chimed in: ‘Literally goosebumps all over, Adele is just incredible! Literally goosebumps all over my body!!’

Announcing her album just days earlier, Adele released a statement via social media that read: ‘I was certainly nowhere to near where I’d hoped to be when I first started it nearly 3 years ago.
‘Quite the opposite actually. I rely on routine and consistency to feel safe, I always have. And yet there I was knowingly – willingly even, throwing myself into a maze of absolute mess and inner turmoil!
‘I’ve learned a lot of blistering home truths about myself along the way. I’ve shed many layers but also wrapped myself in new ones.
‘Discovered genuinely useful and wholesome materials to lead with, and I felt like I’ve finally found my feeling again. I’d go as far to say that I’ve never felt this peaceful in my life.’
Highly-anticipated: Adele’s new album 30 is set for release next month on November 19
Explaining that she now felt in a good place about releasing her album, the singer went on to thank her friends for staying by her side as she struggled with a broken heart.
She continued: ‘And so, I’m ready to finally put this album out. It was my ride or die throughout the most turbulent period of my life. When I was writing it, it was my friend who came over with a bottle of wine and a takeaway to cheer me up.
‘My wise friend who always gives the best advice. Not to forget the one who’s wild and says “It’s your Saturn babes f**k it, you only live once”.
‘The friend who’d stay up all night and just hold my while I’d sob relentlessly not knowing why. The get up and go friend who would pick me up and take me out somewhere I said I didn’t want to go but just wanted to get me out the house for some vitamin D.

‘That friend who snuck in and left a magazine with a face mask and some bath salts to make me feel loved while inadvertently reminding me not only what month it actually was but that I should probably exercise some self care.
‘And then that friend who no matter what, checked in on me even thought I’d stopped checking in with them because I’d become so consumed by my own grief. I’ve painstakingly rebuilt my house and my heart since then and this album narrates it. Home is where the heart is x.’
Adele and charity CEO Simon announced they were going their separate ways in April 2019, with Adele filing court documents five months later.
The couple – who dated for seven years and were married for two – co-parent their son Angelo, eight.
Their divorce was finalised in March this year, and Simon is believed to live in one of the three houses on Adele’s Beverly Hills compound so that he can be close to Angelo.
Release: Adele confirmed the album’s release date and title alongside a lengthy note she shared on Instagram which explained how she finally felt ready to release her music
