Adele has admitted that she was too embarrassed to audition for the X Factor.
The London singer, who is currently recovering from throat surgery, said she never tried out for the show for fear of embarrassment.
Speaking to Cosmopolitan Magazine, Adele revealed: "We'd be watching The X Factor, and my family would tell me I should go on. But then you'd see a parent on the show saying, 'My child is the next Mariah [Carey],' and the kid would be rubbish.
"So I'd look at them and think, 'F**k you, you just want me to be embarrassed for a good laugh.'"
Meanwhile, Adele has revealed that she has no plans to release another album in the next two or three years.
The London singer, who has had phenomenal success with second album ‘21’, said she hasn’t started work on her third album and plans to ‘set up home’ for a few years first.
