Adele has had private photos, including a baby scan and a photo of her three-month-old son, stolen by a hacker and posted online.

The haul also contained pictures from her childhood, a photo of her dressed in a Santa Claus outfit as a teenager and the early days of her career not previously released to the public, The Sun On Sunday said.

The singer, who guards her and her family's privacy closely, is said to be "angry and upset" over the violation.

The newspaper said the breach was thought to have occurred after a hacker gained access to the images through the email of her partner, Simon Konecki.

A fan is said to have alerted Adele's management after the images were posted on a Facebook page only accessible to a group of the 27-year-old singer's followers.

The source told the newspaper: "I was appalled and upset when I saw the pictures. They are really private and should not be passed around."

They added: "I think it is disgusting that her so-called fans were sending them around and I thought it should be stopped."
