Cold Shoulder for Adele
Adele has not had the best of luck with men – you only need to listen to her heartbreaking No1 album 19 to work that out.
So I was chuffed when the teen songstress finally found a fella — even if it was the daftly named Slinky Sunbeam from up-and-coming indie act The More Assured. They pair met earlier this year and had a whirlwind romance.
But now the larger-than-life singer has been dumpedfor a stick-thin model — ahead of the release of her single Cold Shoulder later this month.
Bassist Slinky — who I would love to see introduce himself with a straight face — is now dating the equally crazily named Burberry model Morwenna Lytton-Cobbold. They have been joined at the hip since hooking up at a London party last month.
And just when I thought the follow-up to Adele’s soulful debut album 19 was going to be an uplifting record about the joys of falling in love.
My source revealed: “Adele and Slinky met in February and really hit it off. They are both huge characters and had each other in stitches. It was really sweet. They started dating and Adele really thought the relationship was going somewhere. She was really into Slinky and it was great to see her so happy. She’d had a bit of a drought when it came to men, despite all her success. But then after about a month she headed off to America to do some gigs and promotions. She hoped Slinky would be waiting when she got back. But he didn’t hang around. He traded her in for a skinny model.”
I think young Slinky may have made a mistake here.
Adele is a brilliant lass. I love the way she doesn’t conform to showbiz stereotypes — and appears to own only one jumper.
But the real losers here are the children — for if Slinky and toff Morwenna have kids I doubt they’ll be called John or Jane…
