ADELE will be enjoying gold-standard VIP treatment during her Las Vegas residency – with the star set to say in £30,000-a-night high-roller villa.
During her Weekends With Adele at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace shows from November, the superstar is being offered free accommodation at the luxury Nobu Villa, part of the resort’s Nobu Hotel.
The Japanese-inspired rooftop villa is a 10,300-square-feet, three-bedroom mini home with a huge patio overlooking the strip, a barbecue pit and Zen garden with whirlpool.
Her three-month stay would normally cost £2.7million.
A source said: “Adele is being served up the most astonishing VIP package of any artist.
“She will be able to order food from any Caesars restaurant, as well as have a booze cabinet filled with all her desired tipples.”
Plus she will be chauffeured from her Beverly Hills mansion to a private jet which will then whisk her to Las Vegas.
The suite is open to the star throughout the three months her show is running.
Speaking to Elle mag earlier this week, Adele finally revealed the real reason she sensationally pulled the plug on the first version of her Vegas residency earlier this year.
She admitted: “The first couple of months were really, really hard. I was embarrassed.
“But it actually made my self-confidence grow, because it was a very brave thing to do. And I don’t think many people would have done what I did.
“I’m very proud of myself for standing by my artistic needs. There was just no soul in it.”
Revealing what fans can expect for the revamped performance, she said: “I want to tell the story of the beginning of my career to now.
“It’s really, really nostalgic. It’s gonna be really beautiful. I haven’t got any bullet points, obviously, when I talk,” she chuckled.
“That’s why my shows are so erratic. One time I gave, like, an hour speech about an aquarium.”
Whatever she decides to banter about, we’re sure it’ll be hilarious.
Life working out better for Sophie
SOPHIE Cookson has confessed that she struggled for years with “really bad eating disorders”.
The Kingsman and The Trial Of Christine Keeler star blames the pressures of acting.
But since working out regularly, Sophie – who has a daughter Martha with actor Stephen Campbell Moore – now feels in a healthier headspace.
On the Before The Lights podcast she said: “Training was a revelation because for years I’d struggled with really bad eating disorders and I had such a bad relationship with my body and exercise.
“Training to not punish myself, just to feel good, was a real head-shift.
“Particularly as a woman in a tough industry.
“I hope it is getting better, but just the s**t that gets said to you or the pressure that’s on you, it’s difficult to remind yourself it should just be for you – you should just train to feel good.”
AJ: feet first on strictly
AJ Odudu has given her top tip for this year’s Strictly contestants – watch out for their feet.
The presenter, who made the final last year with Kai Widdrington, was forced to pull out after suffering a foot injury.
And passing on tips for the class of 2022, she laughed: “Yes, definitely watch out for their ankles and feet. Start stretching now!”
Despite her devastating eleventh hour pull-out, AJ says the Strictly experience was one of the best of her life. And she told how she made life-long friends from her fellow contestants.
She said: “The (Strictly) WhatsApp group is still alive and kicking. Recently we were all cheering on Adam Peaty in the Commonwealth Games.
“I’ve made friends for life there.”
AJ, who is currently co-hosting Channel 4’s The Big Breakfast reboot with Mo Gilligan, was speaking to promote a new campaign by McDonald’s to encourage more young people from different backgrounds to consider a career in the food and farming industry.
She said: “I visited one of the McDonald’s farms and was really impressed by the young farmers I met – they were so happy and passionate about their work.
“Anything that gives young people more opportunities should be celebrated.”
Unwanted Fellowe-up to ‘dull’ series
AFTER claiming that his period drama Belgravia would be a one-off, Lord Julian Fellowes is bringing it back.
But instead of being a follow-on from the original six episodes set in 1840s London, the Downton Abbey creator has set the series 40 years later.
The show is currently being cast and will start shooting next year under the helm of Carnival Films.
The original series, starring Friday Night Dinner’s Tamsin Greig and Ashes To Ashes’ Philip Glenister, was panned by viewers as “dull” and full of “annoying” characters.
Maybe this one will be as successful as Downton Abbey . . .
See stars on BBC1
A HOST of top music stars have signed up as special guests for the new series of I Can See Your Voice.
Singers Alexandra Burke, Lulu, Tony Hadley, Becky Hill, Steps’ Claire Richards, Blue’s Simon Webbe, Erasure’s Andy Bell and West End talent Layton Williams will be “celebrity investigators” when the BBC1 musical game show returns this autumn.
They will join regular panelists Amanda Holden, Alison Hammond and comic Jimmy Carr, as well as host Paddy McGuinness.
The show sees players, guided by the panel, attempt to win a £10,000 cash prize by guessing who can and can’t sing from a group of people, all without hearing them.
A telly source said: “Bosses are chuffed to have landed such popular musical names.”
Sister Act: The Musical, at Eventim Apollo, Hammersmith, West London
TWO years after it was meant to grace London, Sister Act is making up for lost time, with laughter, tears and song.

National treasure Jennifer Saunders plays a snotty Mother Superior, with perfect comic timing and a decent singing voice.

It’s on until Sunday, so catch it if you can.
