Adele has said that her mother was not best pleased to see her chewing gum as she picked up her Grammy for Best New Artist earlier this year.
The singer told Glamour magazine: "When the award for Best New Artist was announced, I was so convinced that the Jonas Brothers or Duffy were going to win, I wasn't prepared at all. I'd undone my belt and I had chewing gum in my mouth. I nearly cried during my speech but I thought, 'No, I can't because of the Kate Winslet Golden Globe moment. One British person doing that is enough for one year'. When I came off stage and rang my mum to tell her, she was like, 'Yeah, I saw...you had gum in your mouth!' I don't think she was impressed!"
