Alan Carr thought Adele had died in his house

Alan Carr has opened up about the time he genuinely thought that singing legend Adele had died in his home.

We mean, it’s not every day you hear an anecdote like this, is it?

The comic was writing in his book ‘Alanatomy’, which is being serialised by The Sun newspaper, when he made the revelation – explaining that the 28-year-old had come to stay with him after the release of her second album, ’21’.

Alan admitted that he and his fiance, Paul Drayton, started to get worried when the “inconsolable” singer didn’t come out of their spare bedroom for days, sharing: “Although she had purged her feelings in 21 she was still cut up about her ex and completely inconsolable.

“[After a few days] Paul Drayton, my partner, said, ‘Adele is upstairs, we better go and see if she’s OK.’

“‘I daren’t. What if she’s dead?’ We looked at each other. Just out of interest, if the world’s biggest star dies in your house, does the price go up or down? I’m asking for a friend.

“Would we get a plaque? Could we turn it into a museum? Would we have busloads of Adele fans tying wreaths to our knocker?”

Thankfully the pair were able to breathe a sigh of relief when they checked on her and she was simply fast asleep.

Phew, talk about sending your pals into a panic, eh Adele?
