Adele’s estranged father has begged his daughter to forgive him following their bitter fall out.

The ‘Someone Like You’ vocalist recently declared she would spit in her dad’s face after he sold a story about her to the press. Now, Mark Evans, who walked out on the star when she was three-years-old, has told the Daily Mirror that he wants the pair to rebuild their relationship:

“Sure, I’ve done wrong and I should have been there for her throughout her childhood but I am desperate to make amends now. I am begging her to give me another chance.

“The only thing that gives me hope is we’re so similar that I think I know where she’s coming from. I used to be just the same as her when I was her age so I know – and pray – she might not mean the things she’s saying and therefore there might be hope for us.

The 50-year-old, who admits he’s been a rotten father, decided to speak out after hearing the news of her pregnancy:

“I would have loved so much to have been able to hold her in my arms and tell her how happy I was for her.

“I want more than anything to be part of her life again and to be a big part in my little grandson or granddaughter’s life. I’m having to face up to the fact that I may never get to know my grandchildren and it is breaking my heart.”
