"I don't remember much of it because it was such an overwhelming experience," she said. "But I imagined him there.

He would have been proud as punch, he would have hated Glastonbury, though he'd have loved the wellies, but all that mud, oh, he'd be saying 'what the bloody hell's going on?' but I just think he would have been so proud of me. " Her Welsh grandparents were the parents of Adele's dad, Mark Evans, who died last year and the pair had a difficult relationship throughout her life, and the 34-year-old admitted on the show that he was "a letdown" to her growing up, not turning up to see her, or snatching half hours here and there. "He was a really big alcoholic and had loads of demons," she said. "But I didn't really understand that when I was younger and I didn't need that conversation with him when I was like, seven, eight, nine, 10 or whatever.

And then I decided to stop seeing him when I was 12, because I'd gone to Penarth to surprise him for Father's Day. My nana said come down and he didn't come.

So I stopped seeing him. "I saw him very briefly when I was about 15, when my great grandma died, so his nana, and he did apologise then, but I was 15 I didn't want to hear it.
