Adele was presented with the Global Success Award at the Brits 2016, though in a very Adele-like fashion, it was full of swearing.

Naturally, the show's producers attempted to bleep out the profanities. However, as hard as they tried, they did not quite hit the target.

You can hear the singer swearing as the mic drops at the wrong moments above. Hosts Ant and Dec did apologise afterwards.

Adele was also very emotional, the singer crying throughout her acceptance speech.

She was presented the award by British astronaut Tim Peake from the International Space Station.
