ADELE has praised Beyoncé in a social media post showing off her 44kg weight loss. The Someone Like

You hitmaker posted a photograph of herself kneeling in front of a television showing Beyoncé’s Black Is

King visual album.

Taking to Instagram, she wrote: “Thank you Queen for always making us all feel so loved through your art (sic)”

It had previously been claimed that Beyoncé and Adele had “bonded” over their weight loss journeys and sharing fitness tips.

A source said: “Beyoncé is Adele’s ultimate icon.

“She has helped her with her own fitness tips, as well as giving her a different outlook on it all by teaching her to enjoy the work that she’s putting in.

“The Oscars were her incentive to work hard, so she could show off the amazing results.”

Meanwhile, Adele’s former trainer, Pete Geracimo, previously insisted she never wanted to get “super skinny”.

He wrote: “As Adele’s former London-based personal trainer, it’s dishearten­ing to read negative commentary and fat-phobic accusation­s questionin­g the genuinenes­s of her amazing weight loss.

“In my personal experience of working with her through many highs and lows, she always marched to the beat of her own drum on her own terms.

“She never undermined her Godgiven talent in any way. She let her incredible voice do the talking, or should I say singing!

“She never once pretended to be something that she wasn’t. What you saw was what you got. And we all LOVED it!

“When Adele and I started our journey together, it was never about getting super skinny. It was about getting her healthy. Especially post pregnancy and post surgery.

“When 25 dropped and the tour was announced, we had to get ready for a 13-month gruelling schedule.

“In that time, she warmed to training and made better food choices.

“As a result, she lost considerab­le weight and people took notice. Her body transforma­tion was splashed across every media outlet.

“The attention it generated was mind-blowing.”
