Adele is known for a great many things, like her powerhouse vocals, her sophisticated style, and her English charm.

As fans of the singer will also know, she often enjoys a hot drink onstage.

And the story was no different at her comeback gigs at BST Hyde Park last weekend, and the 34-year-old had a steaming mug in hand between songs as she performed in the UK for the first time in five years.

While fans did not mind – who could be blamed for needing a drink after blasting out hits like Rolling in the Deep and Someone Like You – many were left wondering about her beverage of choice.

Luckily, the songstress didn’t mind showing off her mug, and she shared what was inside.

Her choice came as a shock to some fans, who thought London-born Adele might be enjoying tea. Instead, she was drinking hot honey.

Talking to the crowd, Adele said: “It’s hot honey, I know it’s so boring – I can’t wait for the Sauvignon Blanc after babes.”

It wasn’t the only surprise of the night, as the performer treated the cheering crowd to a rendition of Make You Feel My Love, following a last-minute change to her setlist.

The singer explained: “So last night we added this song to the set on the spot, didn’t we? And a lot of my team who were out and about mingling and seeing their friends and family.

“Obviously I can’t go out there so I send them out there to see what you’re all up to. They said a lot of people were crying during this one. So we thought we should do it again.

“This is a song that obviously became my biggest song on the album but it didn’t become my biggest song until I was about to release 21. But for a lot of people it’s a cuddle this song.”

After fighting back tears during the emotional song, Adele concluded her performance by thanking the home crowd for their support.

She said: “It has been an absolute pleasure being here this weekend. To be with so many amazing acts as well. A home crowd as my first actual set of shows even though it was supposed to be somewhere else.

“You lot are incredible. I knew you would be, there’s nowhere like London in the summer. Thank you so much. I really hope you have a wonderful summer, thank you for being gracious and patient with me, I really appreciate it.

“I love coming home, can’t wait to come back ‘proper’ I hope you have a wonderful summer. I’m getting a bit emotional – and happy, happy Pride.”
