Singer Adele dropped a bombshell baby announcement during one of her shows at Las Vegas' Caesars Palace at the weekend, and we're so excited for the British star.

Adele, 35, spotted a sign in the audience which read: "Adele will you do our gender reveal?" and proceeded to welcome couple Shantelle and Chris from New York onto the stage to announce their big news.

The Rolling in the Deep star then asked the couple to reciprocate with her own future gender reveal!

Father-to-be Chris shared a video of the occasion on his Instagram, writing: "POV: Adele did our gender reveal last night! @adele you are amazing and we will remember this night for the rest of our lives!"

"Shantelle and Chris are having a baby," Adele told the audience to huge cheers.

The Hello hitmaker was handed an envelope by the couple, reacting: "Oh my god I think it's from a doctor," before telling the crowd, "So Shantelle and Chris are having a baby boy!"
