Everyone's talking about Adele.

She’s the singer everyone’s talking about. Last week she walked away from the Grammys with 6 awards. Today these photos of the house estate she’s apparently renting in England have been released. Two swimming pools, a tennis court, a private chapel and staff quarters – set on a lazy 25 acres. So your average mansion, really.

The pics are in the gallery among some of our favourite Adele pics.

Here’s 5 things you need to know about Adele:

1. She goes by the name Adele, but her real name is Adele Laurie Blue Adkins and she’s only 23. 23!!!

2. She credits the Spice Girls as being one of her major musical influences.

3. She first attracted the attention of record companies after her friend posted some demos on Myspace in 2006, and she first shot to fame after she performed on Saturday Night Live in 2008. Here is that clip.

4. She’s released two albums – 19 in 2008 and 21 in early 2011. The names correspond to her age at the time the album was being recorded.

5. Did we mention she’s only 23?

I ADORE Adele.

Her voice is just WOW - amazing! And as well as that, she actually looks the way women should look - beautiful, curvy, womanly. I'm crossing my fingers she doesn't go the route of everyone else in showbiz/hollywood (lose a tonne of weight then come out in the trashy mags & say she has found what true beauty really is. Bleugh.)

Adele is a great role model! :)

So has mamamia given up on the anti-photoshop campaign? Because these are apparently "favourite Adele pics", but on that vogue cover she looks like a tiny waisted, massive breasted, high cheek-boned supermodel.
(Yes, I do see the 'PS' sign, but still).
