Adele ready for love again

Adele is finally ready to date again following the heartache which spawned her hit albums 19 and 21.

The Chasing Pavements hitmaker based the records on her failed relationships and has confessed she's shied away from striking up a romance since she split from her last boyfriend in 2009.

But now Adele's ready to date again because she'd like someone to share her global success with.

She tells Billboard, "Not having someone to share all this with made me miserable at times, to be honest. I wanted nothing more than to be in love and be loved back. That was until I remembered I was sharing it with millions and millions and millions of people.

"I haven't been ready to be in love again since summer 2009... until now. And I hadn't met anyone along the way who's changed that."
