James Corden: Bryan Adams walked out of filming Carpool Karaoke before it even began

James Corden has revealed that not everyone was as enamoured by the concept of Carpool Karaoke as many of his guest stars have appeared.

The Late Late Show presenter played a game of "Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts" with Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler when he was asked "if any guest [has] ever been so annoyed they walked off the show"?

Corden seemed apprehensive at first but then told a story about an awkward encounter with singer Bryan Adams, rather than eat the pig's head jelly (also called head cheese) on the table in front of him.

"For the anniversary of Back to the Future, we were going to do a sort of 'Best of the '80s Carpool Karaoke' in a DeLorean," he said. "We had booked Bryan Adams to come and do the thing. We were very exciting. I love Bryan Adams. He's got hits for days - he's terrific."

However the feeling was apparently not mutual - Corden said Adams may not have realised what the shoot would entail. "[He] walked in, seen the list of other people that have done it, turned around, got in his car and left... He just bolted, he was gone," Corden said.

The segment was scrapped when Adams pulled out and Corden said he hasn't heard from him since.

"I kind of understand it," he said. "I get it and I hold no grudge."

Corden was among the guests at the royal wedding this weekend - see The Independent's coverage of the event here.
