Adele ‘revealed as final Carpool Karaoke guest’ as she’s pictured filming with James Corden

Adele will be James Corden’s final guest on The Late Late Show’s beloved segment Carpool Karaoke, according to a new report.

The Gavin and Stacey star announced his departure from the chat show last April, after around eight years at the helm.

Ahead of his final show, it appears the 44-year-old has managed to nab the Grammy-winning artist, 34, to join him one last time before he signs off.

Adele is no stranger to the singalong, having famously gone for a spin in the car in London before her move to LA in 2016.

The British star went viral after the segment aired for belting out the Spice Girls and performing Nicki Minaj’s Monster rap, all while downing a mug of tea.

Now in new images obtained by MailOnline, the singer was seen filming in a car alongside Corden, believed to be back one last time to give a rendition of some tunes.

The Standard has contacted Adele’s representatives for comment.

The reports comes after Corden said that quitting his US talk show is “absolutely terrifying”.

The actor announced that he was leaving the series last April and revealed that he would be moving back to the UK following his tenure in Los Angeles.

Ahead the show’s finale on April 27, the 44-year-old admitted that he feels “huge amounts of fear” about the move, but is looking forward to focusing on his theatre career once back on home soil.

Corden shared at a PaleyFest event in LA on Sunday: “I haven’t felt this scared since I decided to take the show, to move here. I haven’t felt on such unstable ground... (But) I have to embrace that fear...

“I’m just aware that what I’m trying to do isn’t the road that’s often travelled.

“To go from like National Theatre, writing a TV show on the BBC, Broadway, host of a late-night talk show, shooting stuff in the middle of that, stopping the late-night talk show and then going, ‘Oh, I’d like to do another play now.’

“It just isn’t the road that’s been travelled to my knowledge, so with that comes a huge amount of fear. It’s terrifying, it’s absolutely terrifying.”

Corden took over as presenter of The Late Late Show in 2015 from Scottish-born comedian Craig Ferguson, who spent 10 years as host.

His first episode, which aired in March of that year, featured Hollywood superstar Tom Hanks as a special guest.
