Adele said: “For two and half years I couldn’t afford a microwave or oven because I spent all my money on doing up Tallulah.
“My husband was called Robbie, so they didn’t believe us at passport control when they saw our passports. We were Adele and Robbie Williams.”
“I just want to make people happy,” added Adele.
Now Adele and Tallulah keep each other company. The pair are well known around Keighley town centre.
Tourists even pose for photos and videos.
