During their conversation, Corden revealed the difficulties he had in persuading celebrities to take part in Carpool Karaoke when it first began.

They eventually got Mariah Carey to agree - But before she got in The Car she told him she would " do the chat" But she would not sing.

Corden knew he had to convince her to change her mind to make a success of the feature - and he succeeded.

A failed attempt to prank Adele for The Late Late Show was also revealed in their conversation.

And they discussed Adele's I Drink Wine, The First verse of which was inspired by a long heart-to-heart with Corden.

She said they had a six-hour conversation as they travelled home from a holiday together with their families.

" You seemed down. You didn't feel strong, " Adele told Corden.

A few weeks later she wrote The First verse to I Drink Wine and sent it him.

" It was everything I was feeling That Day , " Corden said.

" I was floored by how you'd managed to take everything that I was feeling about myself and life and just put it in a verse.

" It was The Greatest privilege from a conversation so honest between Two Friends . That you could create such a thing, it just blows my mind. "

Corden went on to say he would Miss his colleagues on The Late, Late Show and, more generally, Los Angeles itself.

" It's been a brilliant adventure But I'm just so certain that it's time for us as A Family - with people getting older, people that we Miss - it's time to Go Home . "

" I know, " replied an emotional Adele. " I'm just not ready to come back yet otherwise I would come back With You . "

Corden is set to present his last episode of The Late Late Show on Thursday, with Harry Styles and Will Ferrell among The Guests .

Adele's Carpool Karaoke segment will also be broadcast on The Show , bookending a series that has also featured Madonna, BTS, Blackpink, Britney Spears , Paul Mccartney , Celine Dion , Billie Eilish and Elton John in The Passenger seat.

However, the idea actually dates back to 2011, when Corden took George Michael for a spin as part of a sketch for Comic Relief .

The Format was later commissioned as a standalone series for Apple TV. Corden only took part in a handful of episodes, with later instalments pairing celebrities together instead, Highlights included Jason Sudekis and The Muppets ; Miley and Billy Cyrus; and Kendall Jenner with Hailey Bieber.

During his stint on The Late Late Show , Corden also found time to film roles in Hollywood movies like Ocean's 8, Yesterday and Cats, as well as hosting the Tony and Grammy Awards .

He announced his intention to step down Last Year , saying: " When I started this journey, it was always going to be just that. It was going to be A Journey , an adventure. I never saw it as my Final Destination , you know? And I never want this show to overstay its welcome in any way. "
