Adele has whirl at her feet

- By Chris Riches

BIRTHDAY girl Adele gives a cheeky nod to her recent divorce by releasing a set of photos captioned: “Thirty Free.”

The singer, who turned 33 yesterday, was in playful mood as she celebrated her big day.

In one shot she pouts while twirling for the camera in a monochrome tie-dye dress showing the result of her hard work to get fit.

The second sees her in natural-looking make-up with the word “paradise” tattooed on her left hand and Saturn on her right arm. The final picture has the Rolling In The Deep singer doing just that – larking about in the sea wearing sunglasses and a psychedeli­c rash vest.

Adele posted the images on Instagram just two months after finalising her divorce from Simon

Konecki. They have agreed to share custody of their eight-yearold son Angelo.

Yesterday the Londoner’s fans and friends were overjoyed to see her celebratin­g single life and her birthday. An incredible 3.5 million followers clicked to “like” the photos, while more than 40,000 sent good wishes.

Adele’s unnamed makeup artist also marked the occasion by sharing snaps of her own, including some from the start of her pal’s career.

And author Laura Dockrill, 34, surprised fans with an image of the singer dressed as George Michael while she stood behind in a Beetlejuic­e costume.

She wrote: “Make sure you BFF with someone that also goes to fancy dress parties not dressed as a sexy cat. I love you so much happy birthday.”
