Loose Women fans 'have no words' as Tom Parker's wife Kelsey talks about being 'lucky' to have found love

Loose Women fans have spoken out in awe as the late Tom Parker's wife appeared on the programme. Kelsey was live on the ITV show on Friday (May 6) alongside Kaye Adams, Stacey Solomon, Katie Piper, and Nadia Sawalha.

It is the mum-of-two's first TV interview since Tom died in March. The singer, from Bolton, tragically died aged 33, 17 months after he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour. He shared the news of his diagnosis to fans in October 2020 when Kelsey, was pregnant with their second child, Bodhi, who is now one. The couple, who married in 2018, also shared two-year-old daughter, Aurelia.

Kelsey announced the news of Tom's death on March 30 with a statement posted on Instagram alongside a grey and white picture of Tom, telling fans: "Our hearts are broken." Tom was laid to rest in a celebration of life ceremony on April 20. His widow led a cortege featuring three black horses through Petts Wood, south-east London after inviting her husband's fans to line the streets as they made their way to a private ceremony at St Francis of Assisi church.
