Adele has been banned from posting her own tweets due to her "drunk tweeting" in the past.
The 27-year-old singer, who has almost 24 million Twitter followers, said her management have insisted that two people now have to read her messages which are then "signed off" by someone else before they go online.
Adele, whose new single Hello has topped the iTunes chart in 102 countries, revealed the rule was brought in after she nearly put her foot in "quite a few times" when the social media site first came out.
An audience member asked Adele if it was true during upcoming show Adele At The BBC, hosted by Graham Norton. She laughed and replied: "That is true, yeah."
She added: "I mean I'm not a drinker any more, but when Twitter first came out I was, like, drunk tweeting, and nearly put my foot in it quite a few times.
"So my management decided that you have to go through two people and then it has to be signed off by someone, but they're all my tweets. No one writes my tweets. They just post them for me. So, yeah, that's very, very true."
She has only tweeted around a dozen times so far in 2015.
Throwing it way back with this! Thank you for all the love, I am so blown away. X #TBT pic.twitter.com/MdpONeUnEt

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
