Adele, 27, honoured throwback Thursday with an especially nostalgic portrait of her as a child, posted on her social media profiles.

The chance to unveil herself in all her pre-fame glory was more than a case of keeping up with social-media trends as it was attached to a special message.

'Throwing it way back with this! Thank you for all the love, I am so blown away. X #TBT,' she captioned the image which she posted on Twitter and Instagram.

The Skyfall hit-maker's touching tribute comes just under a week after her comeback single Hello - her first since the release of the James Bond theme song in 2012 - was played in full for the first time on Nick Grimshaw's BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show last Friday.

Adele is back.

And when she rocked up to the BBC Radio 1 studios she reminded us exactly how much we have missed her buttery smooth voice and very glamorous style. She kept things simple in an all-black ensemble, but check out those killer boots!

They're of course by Christian Louboutin (the little flash of red on the sole was a giveaway!) and we love the silver metal toe cap, heel and buckle details. We have actually spotted Jena Malone, Fergie, Mischa Barton and Diane Kruger all wearing this so-called Chelita style, and although they're actually from the Fall 2012 collection, these boots are bang on trend.

Moments later the accompanying video was released online and it racked up a mammoth 100 million views in just five days.

Rather unsurprisingly, it rocketed straight to the number one spot and sold 165,000 copies in just three days.

According to the Official Charts Company, the chart-topping tune had been downloaded roughly 156,000 times in that same time period.

The straight-talking star - who recently admitted the reason for infamously missing the Skyfall premiere was because her son 'was about to drop out my f***y at, like, any moment' - has been on a whirlwind promotional tour since the unveiling of her comeback song.

Most recently. she features on the cover of culture magazine iD and in the accompanying interview, she told how losing her grandfather ultimately inspired her to pursue a musical career as she developed a desire to 'fix people's hearts'.

She also said that her upcoming third album, aptly titled 25, is about missing her formative years and how you don't appreciate the time until it's passed.

'[My teenage years] were the most real and best moments of my life and I wish I'd known that I wasn't going to be able to sit in the park and drink a bottle of cider again,' she said.
