Will Young would LOVE to be in EastEnders and Adele voted for him on Pop Idol!

He's the original Pop Idol and one of our favourite ever talent show winners, and it turns out we're in good company there.

When Will Young dropped by to talk to Sarah Powell he told her that not only did Adele vote for him all those years back, but she got in a fight with a Gareth Gates supporter over it! Now that's a proper fan.

Will also talked his dream role on EastEnders, new music and his excellent but still not house trained puppy. Paper down everywhere.

You can hear Sarah and Will's full chat here.
