An English teacher who Adele told audiences made an impact on her surprised the delighted singer onstage during her ITV concert special, which aired Sunday.
Powerhouse singer Adele got quite the surprise while making the rounds promoting her new album, 30.
ITV recently aired An Audience with Adele, a concert special filmed earlier this month in front of a hometown crowd at the London Palladium that, according to The Newton Citizen, featured superstar Beyonce, actor Samuel L. Jackson and fellow London native Idris Elba.
During the special, which aired Sunday, the 15-time Grammy Award-winner took questions from the audience in a segment shared on the ITV Instagram page, and it included one from Academy Award-winner and fellow Brit Emma Thompson.

Thompson asked the singer if there was anyone in her past who “had supported her, inspired her or protected her from life’s trials and tribulations.” Adele shared that there was indeed a teacher who had made an impact on her life and career.
“I had a teacher at (south London high school) Chestnut Grove, who taught me English. That was Ms. McDonald,” she responded, “She got me really into English literature. Like, I’ve always been obsessed with English, and obviously, now, I write lyrics.”
