Adele's never been one to mince her words. It's why we love her.

Now the singer has slammed the pressure on mums to breastfeed as "f*cking ridiculous."

Adele, who has a three-year-old son Angelo with her partner Simon, vented her frustrations during a gig at London's O2 when a group asked her about the subject.

She said: "It's f**king ridiculous, and all those people who put pressure on us, you can go f**k yourselves, alright? Because it's hard. Some of us can't do it!"

Adele was speaking out after chef Jamie Oliver said he was going to launch a campaign to get more women breastfeeding.

Jamie, who's expecting his fifth child, told LBC: "Probably the most upsetting thing for me at the moment, and I'm desperately trying to scrabble around to get more information on it, is breastfeeding.

"We have the worst breastfeeding in the world. It feeds into all sorts of things, like stunting, obesity, ill health."

Admitting she only managed just over two months of breast-feeding, Adele told her London crowd: "I managed about nine weeks with my boobs (I mean I trip over them – I've got a very good push-up bra). Some of my mates got post-natal depression from the way those midwives were talking. Idiots.

"Breastfeed if you can but don't worry, Aptamil's [formula milk] just as good. I mean, I loved it, all I wanted to do was breastfeed and then I couldn't and then I felt like, 'if I was in the jungle now back in the day, my kid would be dead because my milk's gone.'"

It's not the first time Adele's provided more entertainment at her gigs than just singing. After spotting a couple getting engaged, she stopped mid-song and pulled them up on stage so everyone could get a good look at the ring on the big screen. What a legend.

Jo Sayer I write about entertainment, which means I've lost a couple of years of my life to Game of Thrones and I'm not even sorry.
