Why is James Corden leaving The Late Late Show? Gavin and Stacey star in tears during last Carpool Karaoke

Gavin and Stacey's James Corden and singer Adele were left teary-eyed as they discussed their friendship, the highs and lows they've been through, and eight years of The Late Late Show during the programme's last ever Carpool Karaoke. The candid and emotional chat, which also saw Adele reveal the first verse of her song I Drink Wine was inspired by a six-hour discussion the pair had, comes ahead of The Late Late Show's final episode.

The poignant Carpool Karaoke segment saw Adele pick James up, waking him by clashing drum cymbals over his bed before driving him to work at the CBS studios. James spoke about Carpool Karoke's success, admitting it was difficult to get celebrities to take part at first, which all changed after they eventually persuaded Mariah Carey to do it.

During the final instalment, Adele was left in tears as she recalled how James and his wife had been "so integral in looking after me" and her son after she split from her husband Simon Konecki in 2019. James also revealed how he'd broken down during a six-hour conversation with his friend over "work stuff and the internet, and all those things."
