Speaking to Heart Radio on Friday to promote her first single in five years, Adele was asked by Breakfast presenter Jamie about her 'life-changing decisions' over the past few years.
'There will be a lot of people listening who have got things in their life that they're not too happy about, you did something about it. You made some big, life-changing decisions, how important was that to you?' Jamie asked the superstar.
'It was overdue,' Adele replied. 'It was exhausting, it was really hard work but I was able to take the time that I needed, which isn't a given for everyone, I'm very aware of that.'
'The more and more you put it off, the worse and worse it gets and I had been putting it off anyway for years before... now I am chilled as anything. So I'd say it's worth it, you know treading through all of that poo is worth it.'
