Singer Adele has visited firefighters for “a cup of tea and a cuddle” following the Grenfell Tower blaze.

The star, 29, who paid a low-key visit to the scene of the fire in west London shortly after it started, has been pictured at a fire station in Chelsea.

Rob Petty posted the photographs of the singer wearing a summer dress, smiling with the firefighters, on Facebook.

The visit came after Adele visited the scene of the tower block following the blaze.

Eyewitness Tom Maughan told the Press Association: “She was so nice. She was going around talking to people.

“She tried to keep it on the low but I shouted ‘Adele!’ and she said ‘no, it’s not me’. It was about 1am, she came with her husband.

“She didn’t have any security with her, it was a bit surprising. She wasn’t hiding her face.”

Pictures of the Hello singer, who was born in Tottenham, north London, emerged on Twitter during her visit.

The social media images showed her dressed in black and looking emotional.

Simon Cowell is releasing a charity single to raise money for those affected by the disaster.

Scotland Yard has announced the death toll has risen to 79.
