Adele, 42, is having a tumour removed and alongside pictures of herself in hospital posted on Instagram : "Just a quick note to say thank you to everyone. You've been absolutely incredible! So kind, sending good wishes and looking after my family.
"You are the greatest! You've kept me going. I've had my ups and downs this week but today I really feel like I'm starting to turn a corner and hopefully I'll be well enough to go home soon."
The I'm A Celeb star also thanked the NHS for their efforts saying: "God bless the NHS.
"I cannot believe how hard they work and how much they care, they're angels on earth. They're next level - so special."

"There's a few ladies on my ward who are inspiring me everyday," she wrote.
"They're warriors - stopped me feeling sorry for myself many a time! Also reminding me that I'm not alone in this and that it could be much worse for me."
The star also thanked London's iconic BT Tower, which she says she stands in front of and looks at before her radio shows in the morning.
"I never realised that one day I'd be watching the sun from the other side," she said.
"Seeing 'Good morning London' everyday has made me so grateful and been my reminder that everything is going to be ok," she said.
The star ended her message writing: "Have a great week everyone and please go and see someone if you're worried about anything that's not normal for you.
"Early detection saves lives. I don't want this little horror taking any more of us."
