The Wanted's Max George tells ITV This Morning he still texts late Tom Parker

Max George has remembered his late friend Tom Parker in his first interview since the singer's death. The Wanted's Tom tragically died, aged 33, in March. His passing came 17 months after he diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour - glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).

The death of the Bolton-born musician was announced by his devasted wife Kelsey. "It is with the heaviest of hearts that we confirm Tom passed away peacefully earlier today with all of his family by his side," she said in an Instagram post alongside a black and white photo of her husband. "Our hearts are broken," she added.

In the following hours and days, each member of The Wanted including Max, Nathan Sykes, Siva Kaneswaran, and Jay McGuinness all paid an emotional tribute to their 'brother' after shooting to fame together as part of the band which formed in 2009 and produced two number one singles and a string of top 10 hits and albums.
