“I’m gutted,” she said. “And I’m sorry it’s so last minute.”

Hide AdAdele lived at the 10-bedroom Partridge Green mansion at the time that her successful second album 21 was produced.
The historic property was up for sale last year but was later taken off the market, according to estate agents Savills.
But the luxury mansion was not the star’s only Sussex property.
She is reported to have bought a Brighton beach house for £2.5 million back in 2012, located on Hove beach front, but sold it in 2016.
