It comes after the singer - who lives in LA but was born and raised in London - claimed three of the four major prizes at the Brit Awards earlier this week, and also delivered a tearful speech paying tribute to her young son and ex-husband, Simon Konecki.

Adele appeared on stage at Heaven alongside the night's compere, former RuPaul's Drag Race UK contestant Cheryl Hole, as they announced the winner.

She also posed for pictures backstage with G-A-Y DJ and promoter Jeremy Joseph, his dog, and other drag queens performing on the night.

It appeared she had gone to the club straight from recording The Graham Norton Show, where she is among this week's guests, as she wore the same grey trouser suit.

In an early morning post on Twitter, Hole, real name Luke Underwood-Bleach, shared a selfie with Adele and described her as a "divalina".
