Must Watch: Adele impersonates Adele (you will laugh, cry and love her even more...)

If there is only one thing you watch this Saturday, let it be this. Adele dressed up as an Adele impersonator and joined her fellow impersonators in an audition for the BBC.

A simple nose and chin job (don't worry, only prosthetics) and a little bit of creativity with the makeup and the real Adele manages to full absolutely everyone. The only thing missing - a disguise for her voice. There's no hiding the real thing and the reaction that comes with the big reveal is priceless. You will laugh, cry and fall in love with Adele all over again.
