Love, Actually legend Emma Thompson blew away ITV audiences at home
The stars truly did come out tonight for a singing legend.
Adele made her big British TV comeback as she performed on ITV for stars and fans with An Audience with Adele.
The British singer was back in the UK to promote her new album 30 which was released on Friday (November 19).
Ms Adkins performed a flurry of her classic hits including Hometown Glory, Hello, Rolling in the Deep, and Set Fire to the Rain.
The singer-songwriter also treated fans to tracks from her latest release including the lead single Easy On Me, I Drink Wine, and a personal favourite for her, Hold On.
There were a number of famous faces in the crowd including Stormzy, Dua Lipa, Years and Years star Olly Alexander, Harry Hill, Ted Lasso actress Hannah Waddingham and Alan Carr.
Harry Potter actress Emma Watson - who will soon be reuniting with her Harry Potter co-stars for an HBO Max special - was also seen mouthing the lyrics to some of the singer’s big hits.
However, one audience member who made a real impact on viewers at home was acting legend Emma Thompson who was in the crowd with her Strictly Come Dancing alum husband, Greg Wise.
On social media, numerous people shared clips of Emma Thompson dancing in the audience, particularly to the track Send My Love (To Your New Lover) from Adele’s previous album, 25.
