"It sounds awful but I wasn't remotely excited before my five months scan," Adele, who is 22 weeks pregnant, tells HELLO!. "I didn't want to think about it just in case it was bad news. Now I'm excited but I always touch wood. I know I'm extremely lucky to get this far."SEE THE FULL EXCLUSIVE ARTICLE IN HELLO! MAGAZINE, OUT NOW.
