The father of multi-millionaire singer Adele is making just £50 a day as a Yodel delivery driver, it has been reported.
Mark Evans, 55, who has not spoken to his daughter for years after a bitter falling out, was spotted delivering packages near Cardiff on Wednesday.
The pair famously fell out in 2011 when Evans, who walked out on the singer when she was a child, claimed in an interview that she struggled to find love because of her abandonment issues.

Adele has won numerous awards throughout her career, and in 2012 won all six of her nominations at the Grammy awards
Evans, who lives a small rented house in Bridgend, South Wales, is earning between £50 and £100 for the role – which involves delivering parcels for the courier service, as reported by The Sun.
The newspaper photographed the reformed alcoholic, dressed in jeans and a pink shirt, going about his rounds.
And quoted ‘a pal’ as saying Evans was ‘heartbroken’ over his relationship with Adele and just wanted to be a ‘normal grandad’ to her children.
‘He hasn’t got a life really, he’s just existing. He used to be a plumber but switched to the driving a few months ago,’ they said.
In the interview that led to their bust-up, Evans took full responsibility for his failings as a father – walking out when his daughter was three, leaving her mother Penny Adkins to raise her single-handedly.
Despite the breakdown of his relationship with Penny, Mark remained close to Adele, who would spend school holidays in Wales with her grandparents Rose and John Evans and her half-brother Cameron.

But he admits he lost touch with his daughter when he suffered a breakdown following the death of Adele’s grandfather John in 1999 and the collapse of a relationship that triggered a long battle with alcoholism.
He has previously confessed to writing her letters every month to no avail and said he never gave up hope of seeing his grandson.
And said: ‘She can’t be in any doubt that I want to see her, to find out what’s wrong and show her I want and need to play a part in her life other than Mr Rotten Dad.
‘She’s obviously taken against me and I feel powerless to change her opinion.’
