Because Adele used to live in a small flat (that's British speak for 'apartment', you American bandwagon jumpers), it's big news that she's now lives in a house, a very big house in the country. Obviously she's only renting it though, what with the market being the way it is (the local farmer's market, we mean - it's gone a bit downhill recently so she doesn't want to risk making the area her permanent base). It's only 15k a month anyway.

So, Adele took US host Anderson Cooper round her new ten bedrooms grade II-listed mansion which is set on 25 acres of in West Sussex, where she told him she had a bedroom for her wigs but hadn't really bothered unpacking yet. The Daily Mail have gone with the angle that her kitchen is big enough for all her cup cake baking needs rather than the fact that she won't get much use out of her outdoor swimming pool. We hope she told the American viewers that all us Brits live in castles. We do, you know.
