She may be a multi-Grammy award-winner but even when Adele started singing at the wheel during driving lessons her instructor had no idea he was coaching a star.
The Chasing Pavements hitmaker, 25, is the latest celebrity to pass her driving test first time thanks to Noel Gaughan – but he admits he often has no idea his VIP clients are famous.
‘She (Adele) would sing some beautiful songs and say “you must know this one” but I don’t really know many celebrities,’ said Mr Gaughan.
He also taught One Direction’s Niall Horan, 20, to drive but had no idea his pupil was a boyband star until they stopped at traffic lights and the car was surrounded by screaming girls.
‘That made driving difficult,’ said Mr Gaughan, 49, who runs driving school Intensive Courses in Bishop’s Stortford, Hertfordshire.
He says Notting Hill actor Rhys Ifans, 46, was his ‘funniest pupil’. ‘When we got to the test centre, he (Ifans) walked up to the examiner and said “Shall I drop my pants now?”’ said Mr Gaughan.
Other celebrities to shed the L-plates thanks to his instructions include Mumford & Sons bassist Ted Dwane, 28, X-Men: First Class actor James McAvoy, 34, singer Mika, 30, and Bond girl Gemma Arterton, 27. - Metro UK
