The special scored higher than this year’s Academy Awards (9.85 million) and is the highest viewership for a CBS entertainment show since an April episode of NCIS.  

Comparatively, NBC’s Sunday Night Football telecast averaged 13.5million, and ABC’s Celebrity Wheel of Fortune averaged 3.4million. Adele’s One Night Only interview with Winfrey, 67, was made by James Corden and Ben Winston’s company Fulwell 73, that was also responsible for the Friends reunion special.

The critical reaction to the show was positive to mixed – with some reviews complaining about the lackluster interview with Winfrey, while praising the performance side of it.

According to reports in The Mirror, the CBS show could generate more than $100million (over £74million) with Corden’s firm expected to take a cut.

Cheeky! She was seen grabbing  her bust and pulling a silly face

The two-hour special featured the pop songstress’ first new material in six years, with an insider claiming CBS has paid ‘at least $5million, but perhaps as much as $7million’ to debut the interview. 

During the personal chat with Winfrey, Adele admitted that her ex-husband Simon Konecki ‘saved her life’ because he gave her ‘stability’ after she found herself on a ‘self-destructive path.’

The singer, 33, who split from the charity mogul in 2019 after just over a year of marriage, confessed she could have become ‘lost’ as a young woman in the music industry, but believes Simon and their son Angelo, nine, were ‘angels sent to her.’

Speaking during her CBS special, Adele also revealed that a magazine personality quiz drove her to her decision to divorce Simon two years ago, which helped her realise she was just ‘plodding along’ in her marriage.

She told Oprah Winfrey: ‘I think Simon probably saved my life, to be honest with you. He came at such a moment, where the stability that him and Angelo have given me, no one else would ever have been able to give me.
