‘In terms of the intimacy of it. It was very like… you’re in there but it’s like a small theatre but it’s f***ing Adele.
‘It’s got all the glitz and glamour like a massive arena show, but it’s in a small place and it’s kind of like, wonderful. Beautiful and spectacular and glamorous… I was like, chefs kiss.’
