Adele - moving to Horsham district?
A friend of the English singer-songwriter has told Heat magazine that Adele has been house-hunting in Billingshurst to be closer to her boyfriend who works in Brighton.
The ‘Someone Like You’ singer sold more than 16 million copies of her second album ‘21’, making it the biggest selling album of the century.

Many fans on Twitter hope her relocation is more than just a rumour.

However, it is believed the singer has been prospecting properties in the area for a number of months.
