Adele fans are getting a behind-the-scenes look at her upcoming hosting gig for Saturday Night Live.

Earlier this week, the "Hello" singer, 32, first revealed that she would be hosting the popular NBC show this upcoming Saturday, Oct. 24, for the first time ever.

"Bloooooody hell I’m so excited about this!! And also absolutely terrified! My first-ever hosting gig and for SNL of all things!!!!" she wrote in a post on Instagram. "I’ve always wanted to do it as a stand-alone moment, so that I could roll up my sleeves and fully throw myself into it, but the time has never been right. But if there was ever a time for any of us to jump headfirst into the deep end with our eyes closed and hope for the best it’s 2020 right?"

"It'll be almost 12 years to the day that I first appeared on the show, during an election...which went on to break my career in America, so it feels full circle and I just couldn't possibly say no!" she continued. "I am besides myself that H.E.R will be the musical guest!! I love her SO much I can't wait to melt into a flaming hot mess when she performs, then confuse myself while I laugh my arse off in between it all. See you next week ♥️🤞🏻."
