The 'Hello' hitmaker has revealed she is a huge fan of the 'Pretty Girls' singer and has a plan to give her the compliment and make a joke when they meet to "break the ice".

She told NPR: "Britney is the queen. I love her. So yeah, sometimes it is a bit intense. But I usually crack a joke, and then it breaks the ice."

The comments will no doubt please the 33-year-old singer as she previously revealed she'd love to do a "ticket swap" with the mother-of-one and is offering her a pair of coveted tickets for her 'Piece of Me' residency in Las Vegas.

She tweeted: "@Adele I'll trade you 2 tickets to my show for 2 tickets to YOURS! Stop by #PieceOfMe and say #Hello anytime!! (sic)"

Her comments came after Adele - who has three-year-old son Angelo with partner Simon Konecki - revealed her future ambitions, which included a trip to Las Vegas.

She shared: "I'd like to tour properly. I'd like to see Britney in Vegas. Dunno about more kids.

"I'd like to make records forever with the time I've been given for this one. If I can do that I'll be really f***ing happy."
