James Corden has done a few of his hugely popular Carpool Karaokes now, where he picks up a singing superstar in his car and drives them around while belting out a few of their hits.

Justin Bieber, Rod Stewart and Jennifer Hudson have all graced the passenger seat, but none are likely to go down quite as well as his latest pick-up, Adele.

In the 15 minute video, which you can watch here Adele doesn't just sing spectacularly along to some of her own songs, as well as the Spice Girls and Nicki Minaj - she also talks about some stuff we haven't heard her talk about before.

Here's what we learned from Adele's Carpool Karaoke.

1. She won't be naming another album after her age

"This is the last album after my age... I believe in trilogies... the next one's just going to be 'Adele'"

2. She rarely gets drunk anymore, but when she does she's an amazing drunk

She was sitting in a restaurant by herself "like a loser" waiting for a friend. After a few glasses of wine she goes up to a family. "Did I hear it's your birthday? Let me get your meal for you!" The next morning in the park with her son "off my face" (hungover) she pulls a slip of paper out of her pocket with an email address on. She promised another family she would get them tickets to her sold-out show in Nashville.

3. Despite not boozing often, she can still neck a drink

Adele accidentally spills tea on a new coat that she "got out of today's budget" so she downs the rest of it in one.

4. She can rap - very well

She admits she's "not that talented of me own" before nailing every syllable in Nicki Minaj's Monster.

5. She really loves the Spice Girls

Her 10th birthday was Spice Girl themed, and Adele was always Ginger Spice. She was devastated when Geri left the group. "That was the first time she was truly heartbroken". Adele then belts out a few bars of Wannabe like it's 1996.

6. She's got a squad, but it's not like Swifty's

Adele's got proper mates "My squad is Laura, Daniel and Soufian " She's also (kind of) close to Beyonce "We're very friendly when we see each other".

7. She's not sure about her new haircut

"I feel like I look like me mum's friends", and she's going to wear a wig when she goes on tour. "I can't figure out if I should wear a wig-wig or get a weave".

8. She doesn't just sing on 'Hello'

While effortlessly belting out the chorus she tells Corden "That's me playing the drums... That's my Phil Collins moment!"

9. She doesn't use her name when making dinner reservations

"No, I never drop me name in case they call the paps", which means she often gets told there's no table. "I can't drop the A bomb".

10. Adele can SING!

We already know this, but just listen to her effortlessly belt out all those notes while sitting in the passenger seat of James Corden's hired car hugging a cup of tea
