James Corden Spotted Absolutely Belting Out Adele As He Watches Her Hyde Park Gig
James Corden has been spotted singing his heart out at Adele's Hyde Park concert. Watch here:
The singer (Adele, that is) performed at her first public UK concert in five years yesterday (Friday 1 July), dazzling an audience of 65,000 in her home city.
The 34-year-old said she was 'thrilled' to be back - and her joy was matched by Corden, who was clearly making the most of being back over this side of the pond.

In a video shared on TikTok, the actor and comedian's head can be seen floating above some shrubbery, as he sings along word for word - in a fashion we've seen many times before in his 'Carpool Karaoke' segment on The Late Late Show.
The clip has gone viral, and has been viewed more than 800,000 times.
Commenting on the video, one person said: "He looks like he couldn't get tickets so he's stood over the wall."
Another wrote: "Surprised he didn't get a mic and start singing over her."
A third added: "Why do I feel like I can hear him?"
Adele delivered an impressive headline set at the BST Hyde Park festival, where she treated the sold-out crowd of adoring fans to an array of hit songs from across her four number one albums.
She became emotional though as the audience chanted back the opening lyrics to her 2015 hit 'Hello'.
"What's happening to me?" she asked, before encouraging the crowd to help carry the tune while she got herself together.
After playing her opening songs, the Tottenham-born singer said: "Hello, I'm so happy to be here.
"Guys, I'm back at home, also where I know. The amount of times I have been up there drunk off of my face, singing along to other artists at these shows."
She added that she was 'thrilled' to be back on stage but that she found it 'strange to be in front of a crowd again', which included her son and one of her best friends.
During the two-hour set she performed classics tracks and new hits including 'Rumour Has It', 'One and Only', 'To Make You Feel My Love', 'Rolling In the Deep' and 'Easy On Me'.
In her typically down-to-earth style she chatted to her fans throughout the event, who had travelled from across the world, and drank a mug of tea, noting she was currently not drinking alcohol.
After spotting a sign announcing it was a fan's 18th birthday, she ensured they would have a particularly memorable day as she promised to buy them their first drink after the show.
A couple of lucky fans received a special memento from the event as she hurled concert T-shirts along with a personalised message and a £50 note into the crowd using a T-shirt cannon gun.
The singer also stopped the show on multiple occasions to highlight potential issues within the audience to security to ensure everyone was safe.
She will headline the festival once again today (Saturday 2 July).
