Referring to the difficulty of her own divorce, Jackie asked the Skyfall singer: ‘It takes a long time to get to a good place. Did you find that, or did you snap back pretty quick?’
‘No, it took me two years,’ replied Adele.
‘It felt like the world was ending most of the time, even on a good day.’

Adele recently revealed three of her closest friends were not bowled over by her record-breaking new track when they first heard the song.
Speaking on the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Greg James on Friday, the hit-maker explained: ‘I sent a snippet of me singing it as I was writing it to three of my closest friends here. One didn’t like it, the other one was like, “Well, yeah, maybe, keep trying though.”‘
Adding that one friend was too busy with work to even listen to the track – which has set a new world record for the most streams in a single day – Adele insisted: ‘That was the perfect response for me.’

She explained to Greg: ‘I’m such a knee-jerk person. I’ll be like, ”I don’t like it, forget it!” I’m like that with my music.
‘I’m like that with just things I want to do. I’m like that with my feelings and stuff and I think it was clear to them [her friends] in the lyrics that I’ve bided my time and I wasn’t reacting to a reaction or anything like that.’
She concluded: ‘It was just a feeling that I had stirred on for a while.’
Adele’s upcoming album 30 is set for release on 19 November.
