Adele is like a London bus, nothing for six years and now there’s no avoiding her

ADELE is the musical equivalent of a London bus.

Nothing for six years, and then Adele after Adele after Adele.

Taking the art of self-promotion to dazzling new heights, there’s been absolutely no avoiding the Tottenham-born superstar of late.

The onslaught started last month and shows no sign of abating.

So, on October 1, we had the name of her new album, 30, projected on to the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum and the Empire State Building.

Then came, deep breath, two Vogue covers, an Instagram Live with her 44million followers, An Audience With Adele, a Rolling Stone interview and, now, Adele: One Night Only (if only).

During said Adele ambush we’ve heard – endlessly – about her weight loss, divorce, drinking, anxiety, struggles with motherhood, more weight loss, childhood battles, father issues, therapy and her musings on Taylor Swift. And a bit more on her weight loss.

In the latest revelation – an interview with little-known chatshow host Oprah Winfrey – we’ve learned how much Adele can deadlift (77kg).

Which is one less thing to worry about.

In short, I know more about Adele than I do my very best friends.

Terrifyingly, the album’s not out until Friday. So brace yourselves for four long days of more Adele.

COMPO TREND CURSE

A JUDGE has ruled that a dog walker can challenge the £50,000 payout given to a man who fell off his bike after her dog ran into his path.

Publisher David Crane sued Carina Read for negligence under the 1971 Animals Act.

He had a brain haemorrhage as a result of falling over his handlebars trying to avoid the ball-chasing dog, Felix. He blamed Ms Read for throwing the ball.

With compensation culture at an all-time high, sadly the case comes as no surprise.

Last month, while walking Dora the miniature dachshund, I accidentally hurled her ball straight into the side of the head of a severely disabled boy.

Like a scene from a sick Hollywood comedy, the spinning pink ball pin-pointed down, in painful slow motion, at the poor soul in his wheelchair.

His mother could, probably should, have screamed at me. She could have panicked and called an ambulance.

She could have taken my details and frog-marched me straight to court.

Instead, she laughed it off and calmly told me he was fine.

She ended up consoling both me and her son, both of us by now mildly hysterical.

Those embracing our creeping no win, no fee society would do well to take a leaf out of this stoic woman’s book.

BINGE ON SHOWTRIAL

I’M no Ally Ross, but give this telly treat a go: Showtrial.

From the producers of Line Of Duty and Bodyguard, the BBC1 murder mystery five-parter is brilliant.

As is Tracy Ifeachor who plays solicitor advocate Cleo Roberts.

It’s also available to binge in one go for those whose patience, like mine, has been shattered by streaming services.

DROP IN OCEAN

A VACCINE against Alzheimer’s is getting closer after scientists carried out successful trials on animals.

The good news comes after Health Secretary Sajid Javid announced a £375million investment to improve understanding of neurodegenerative diseases.

Which is all well and good.

But given that one in six Brits over 80 have dementia, £375million is a drop in the ocean – especially in light of the Government’s recent vanity projects.

Such as the £3million blown on transgender research, with projects including “charting the experience of pregnant men” and the “fate of trans people in Lebanon”.

Taxpayers also footed the bill for the £252million spent on NHS face masks – which went unused because they had the wrong type of fastening.

And let’s not forget the £37BILLION spent on the disastrous track and trace programme.

So £375million is like putting a plaster on a shark bite.

MCHAPPY DAYS

EVA LONGORIA reckons the best Italian food she’s ever eaten was in a Pizza Express in Cardiff.

Eva has just been made a McDonald’s “McHappy Day” ambassador

High praise indeed.

Except this is also a woman who has just been made a McDonald’s “McHappy Day” ambassador, above.

It’s fair to say the culinary bar has been set fairly low.

PLAYING ON THE ATTACK

FOR those who say women’s football lacks bite, a quick look at our Gallic sisters suggests otherwise.

Paris Saint-Germain player Aminata Diallo was last week arrested on suspicion of hiring two men to attack her team-mate Kheira Hamraoui using iron bars.

She denies involvement and, crucially, denies the suggestion it was all a ruse to oust her midfield rival from the starting XI.

Diallo was released without charge.

Still, PSG’s women seem a lot more lively than their male counterparts.
