Adele: I'm not cocky

Soul singer Adele has insisted that she isn't as "cocky" as she sometimes appears.

The 20-year-old star, who won a Brit Award earlier this year, admitted she had to develop a "tough skin" to cope with her rapid rise to fame.

However, this doesn't mean she takes her success for granted, she said.

She told DS: "I tried to develop a tough skin for a while and kept ignoring everything that was going on, which made me come across a bit confrontational and cocky I think.

"But in fact I'm the complete opposite: I couldn't be happier with what's happening, but I'm trying not to think about it in case I s**t myself."
