Adele slams online trolls who compared her to Fiona from Shrek

THE singer wasn’t too happy about being compared to a cartoon character and used her Perth concert to blast the harsh comparison.

ADELE has hit back at critics who claimed she looked like Fiona from kids’ flick Shrek in her green Grammys dress.

Despite winning five gongs at last month’s bash, cruel trolls compared the Brit superstar to the fictional ogre due to the colour of her frock, The Sun reports.

Now the singer, 28, has blasted her detractors and explained she worked out twice a day to fit into the designer gown.

“Before the Grammys I had this dress right, I wore this green dress, everyone said I looked like Fiona from Shrek,” she said.

“I don’t f***ing care. It was Givenchy Couture, they can say what they want.

“I worked out. Obviously I’m a large lady and I like eating food very much, but I was working out twice a day to fit into that Givenchy dress because it was quite tight.”

Cackling to her 65,000 fans during her gig in Perth, Australia, she added: “I was running a very long time to get fit for this but it never worked.”

Adele’s patterned green dress at last months Grammy Awards in Los Angeles sparked a stream of harsh comments on social media comparing her to Fiona from Shrek.

Twitter user Jacobus asked: “Why does Adele look like Fiona from Shrek?”

Lola Genovoix tweeted: “Somebody has to say: Adele as Fiona Shrek #GRAMMYS”

Men Jee added: “I’m not trying to be funny, I’m really not but is it just me or does Adele’s dress make her look like Fiona from Shrek?”

Adele had one of the biggest nights of her career at the Grammys, beating rival Beyoncé to win five awards including the coveted Album of the Year for 25.
