Tom Parker's Pointless special leaves fans in tears as he wins charity jackpot

A special episode of Pointless Celebrities which saw Tom Parker try to raise money for cancer charities left viewers in tears on Saturday night, as it aired on the BBC just three days after his tragic death.

Tom passed away aged 33 on Wednesday after a brave nearly two-year battle with brain cancer and filmed the episode with his The Wanted bandmate Max George last year.

Heartbroken fans were left in floods of tears as they watched the singer and Max, 33, go on to win a £2,500 jackpot with the pair donated to the Brain Tumour Charity and Brain Research UK on the show after they made it to the final round.
