Adele took a ride in the passenger seat and, as well as spilling a drink, she also sang her hits including Hello, Someone Like You, Rolling In The Deep – and a cover version of the Spice Girls’ Wannabe.

Harry Styles, a friend of Corden, first appeared in the car with his former One Direction bandmates but later graduated to the front seat for a solo version.

The pair opened with Styles’ hit Sign Of The Times before moving on to Sweet Creature.

After some costume changes, they performed a duet of Outkast’s 2003 classic Hey Ya! and later Diana Ross and Lionel Richie’s ballad Endless Love.
