A pal said: “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.”

Ray, 32 who was a child star in Brookside, won the ITV skating show in 2009 and the follow-up All Stars series five years later.

He released third album Undeniable last month.
