“Well this is brilliant,” Corden replied. He added he was “excited and scared in equal measure” to be leaving. “It’s been a crazy eight years,” he said. Adele said she was “very, very sad” about his departure.

However, Adele disappointed musical theatre fans by saying she was unlikely to be awarded an EGOT as she hates the genre. When the drive was over, the pair discussed James’ return to the UK. Adele said: “I’m not ready to come back yet, otherwise I would come back with you.”

While the last episode of Carpool Karaoke has been aired, James’ last episode of The Late Late Show won’t be until later this week. The hosts final episode will be on Thursday (April 27).
