A Salford-born former secretary she was encouraged to try to become a writer by Jack Rosenthal (with whom she co-wrote two episodes). She first saw programme when it began in December 1960 and felt "that perhaps the script needed a woman's touch. They had all those women in the cast, and all the writers were men." Having previously worked at Granada as a secretary, she rang up Harry Kershaw who encouraged her to send in a sample script. Adele was one of the bridesmaids at Patricia Phoenix's wedding to Alan Browning in 1972.
