Adele shares stunning never-before-seen photos to celebrate turning 33

Adele is celebrating her birthday in style.

The 'Hello' hitmaker has taken to Instagram to share a series of gorgeous photographs of herself to celebrate turning 33.

The first image shows Adele looking relaxed and makeup-free in a classic black and white portrait.

Another image shows the Oscar-winning singer swimming with her arms outstretched, enjoying every moment of her birthday island getaway.

While the third image captures her dancing, dressed in an off-shoulder, black and white tie-dyed dress.

Alongside the pictures, the songstress - who finalised her divorce from Simon Konecki earlier this year - wrote: "Thirty Free."

Adele hasn't released new music in more than five years.
