“The best part of this Adele special is Emma Thompson getting her absolute life,” another said, while radio presenter Abbie McCarthy commented: “Emma Thompson is all of us.”
The concert was broadcast shortly after Adele released her fourth album, 30, which has received praise from critics and fans.
Viewers who tuned in to watch Adele’s ITV special, An Audience with Adele, were delighted to discover Emma Thompson is a massive fan of the British singer.
“Petition for Emma Thompson to be in the audience for all performances forever more,” journalist Nola Marianna tweeted.
