A source told The Sun: "Times are tough and no one can be snobby about work. Ray is a hard-grafting lad, and naturally loves being on the move, doing things and seeing people.

“He feared getting bored so applied for a job with Hermes and has been dropping off packages ever since.

"It’s kept him busy and he’s really popular — especially with fans who want a selfie. It's brilliant he's doing this - more and more people are bound to follow suit."

Heart.co.uk has contacted a rep for Ray for comment.

Ray rose to fame as a child star in soap Brookside, and works as an actor and singer.

He released his third album - Undeniable - last month.

Ray recently opened up to Entertainment Daily about keeping his glass 'half full' and his hopes for a “brighter future without the pandemic".

Speaking about his hopes for the future, he added: "I’d also love to do a film, more soap, another album".

"I’m a dreamer, lots of different ideas come flying in my head every day. I’m like maybe I can do this or that. But maybe it’s just a self-employed anxiety kicking in."
