Adele has said her Las Vegas shows have to go ahead this year because she has "got plans" for 2023, adding: "Imagine if I have to cancel because I am having a baby."

The singer, who is dating American sports agent Rich Paul, recently postponed her Caesars Palace residency at short notice, citing delivery delays and the impact of coronavirus.

She said: "I tried my hardest and really thought I would be able to pull something together in time. I regret that I kept going until that late in the day. It would have been a really half-arsed show and I can't do that. People will see straight through me up on the stage and know I didn't want to be doing it. I've never done anything like that in my life and I'm not going to start now.

 We are now working our arses off, but I don't want to announce a new set of dates until I know everything will definitely be ready. The sooner I can announce the better, but I just can't in case we are not ready in time. It is absolutely 100% happening this year. It has to happen this year because I've got plans for next year. Imagine if I have to cancel because I am having a baby."

It comes after she walked the red carpet at the Brit Awards wearing a large ring on her fourth finger, prompting speculation on social media that she is engaged to Paul.

Addressing the reports, she said: "If I was, would I ever tell anyone if I was or wasn't?"
