She also gave him a shout at one of her shows at the O2 Arena in 2016.

Afterwards, he told Newsbeat: "Oh my days, to this day I still don't even believe it."

It seems the two have grown closer over the years, with Stormzy even name-checking Adele in Big For Your Boots.

Along with Stormzy, celebs at Adele's 30th party in May included James Corden, Mark Ronson and Childish Gambino.

The party was Titanic-themed, with Adele dressing as Rose, who was played by Kate Winslet in the 1997 film.
