Before her radio career, Adele was best known for appearing on season three of Big Brother in 2002.

During the series, Adele was popular with her housemates receiving no nominations for the public vote during the first three rounds of nominations.
However, Adele was not so popular with viewers and received a negative reception from the crowd when she was evicted from the house on day 43 of 64.
Adele did not win Big Brother season three in 2002, coming in seventh place.
The winner of the third season of Big Brother was Kate Lawler, a part-time model from Kent who became the first female winner of the show.
Adele returned to Big Brother in 2007 with fellow former contestant, Alex Sibley to take part in a task.
Speaking ahead of her stint down under, Adele said: “I get emotional when I don’t have food. There will be some tears! But I am hoping to learn lots about myself when I am in the Jungle.”
Adele also revealed her biggest fear ahead of going into the jungle is spiders.
She said: “I am so petrified! I’ve only camped once and that was the worst night of my life.
“I hate spiders. If I see one, I can’t speak, I freeze and I do this weird thing where I wring my hands together!
“I don’t know where it has come from but as I have got older, I have hated them more and it has now got to the point where I have to have cedar blocks in my house!
“I am not too fussed about anything else but I have never even met a snake and so I don’t know how I am going to react!
“It’s the same with rats. On paper, they are cute but in real life, they might be massive!”
