Earlier this year, Adele, 32, sparked a huge reaction after showing off her slimmed-down frame.
But, like many Adele impersonators, Maria is worried the singer’s new look could put her out of work.
She’s now planning to splash £11,000 to undergo major gastric surgery to make her look more like Adele now.
What did Maria say?
Maria told Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford: “I’m a tall girl so I do carry my weight well but I have gained quite a lot of weight recently.
“Earlier on, I heard you say that I’m risking my life but I actually believe I’m saving my life.
“If I get any bigger I’m risking diabetes.”
When asked if she’s having the surgery for health reasons or to help her career, Maria said: “Both. It was something that was already in the pipeline and I’ve just pushed it forward by going privately.”
Eamonn asked: “So Adele has done you a favour?” to which Maria said: “Yeah she has.
“But she’s got there a bit too fast for my liking.”
She said: “I want to lose between seven and eight stone.”
Maria has taken out a £11,000 loan to get the surgery and was asked about whether her family are concerned.
She said: “My family are concerned but I did have a gastric band 13 years ago.
“Due to complications, I had it removed last April and the bypass was something that was going to be happening.
“Unfortunately I got accidentally discharged from the hospital through the NHS.
“Now with the lockdown there’s going to such a delay that I’ve decided to speed up the process and borrow the money.”
