George Michael is reportedly lining up a duet with none other than Adele.

The former Wham! singer flew in from Australia last week to present the star with her Brit Award for Best British Album, and is believed to have talked to her about a possible collaboration.

An insider told The Mirror: "George is working on his album for the first time since his life-threatening illness and he's in great shape. It is no secret that he adores Adele.

"He even left his boyfriend Fadi Fawaz in Australia for three days while he flew in to present Adele with her Brit."

Late last year the star was hospitalised for serious pneumonia and was forced to postpone a string of tour dates.

The source continued: "Adele has been an admirer of George's tunes for as long as she can remember, and was so touched that George presented her [with her] Brit Award."
