Fans at the London Palladium show earlier this month reportedly told how actress Emma Thompson asked the superstar who had inspired her when she was young.

Adele opened up about the impact the year eight teacher had on her, after which Emma revealed that she was actually in the audience. 

An audience member told The Sun: 'It was a really emotional moment. Adele spoke movingly about how her teacher was her inspiration as a teenager.

'When she realised she was actually in the audience, she brought her up on stage immediately, and broke down in tears. It was the big surprise of the night.'

MailOnline has contacted ITV and Adele's representatives for comment.
