The Wanted star Max George says he still messages bandmate Tom Parker after his death

The Wanted star Max George has said he found "a bit of comfort" in still messaging bandmate Tom Parker, who died in March at the age of 33. The singer died from an inoperable brain tumour, leaving behind his wife Kelsey and children Aurelia and Bodhi.

At his funeral, bandmates George, Jay McGuiness, Siva Kaneswaran and Nathan Sykes served as pallbearers, carrying the coffin into St Francis of Assisi church in Petts Wood, south-east London.

George told This Morning presenters Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary: "I'm still trying to process it, I still text him actually. If I get pictures or stuff that fans have made with him in it or they send a nice message to do with Tom, I'll WhatsApp it to him.
