Adele shared a photo of herself from her hosting gig to thank those who helped her pull off an amazing show. In the caption, she wrote: "Had the best time on SNL! Thank you to the most wonderful cast, crew, writers and producers. What a sublime bunch of people you are.

Meanwhile, during her SNL hosting stint, Adele joked that she would sign up to appear on Love Island in a bid to find romance following her divorce. "I'm here because I've had a lot of heartbreak in my life - first at 19 and then, sort of famously, at 21 and then, even more famously, at 25," she said, later joking: "Thank you everyone, catch me next week on Love Island!"
The singer was linked to rapper Skepta
Adele parted ways from Simon in April last year after a seven-year relationship. It's been reported that the pair filed for divorce in September 2019. The former couple are parents to their eight-year-old son Angelo.
The Hello hitmaker was first linked to Skepta in September last year. The rapper has previously gushed about his friendship with Adele, telling ES Magazine in 2016: "Adele texts me all the time and keeps me in check. She speaks to me about how things are going." Later that year, Adele shared a picture of Skepta, writing, "Tottenham Boy" alongside a heart emoji.
