Tom Parker's widow Kelsey hosts first birthday party for daughter without dad

Tom Parker 's widow Kelsey celebrated her daughter's first birthday without her dad, throwing her an adorable party fit for a princess.

Aurelia Rose will turn three on Thursday and her mum organised a themed party for the special occasion.

On Saturday, the birthday girl was visited by a selection of Disney princesses - including Elsa, Cinderella and Rapunzel - and she enjoyed singing her favourite songs with the characters.

The party was complete with a mini castle and Aurelia showed up in a pink ruffled princess dress. She wore silver sandals and a cute bow in her hair.

Kelsey, 32, shared pictures of the party on Instagram. It is the first one she has hosted since the tragic death of her husband at the age of 33, following his battle with a brain tumour.

Bodhi - Tom and Kelsey's youngest child - was also at the party and wore a deep blue denim shirt and white shorts.

Mum-of-two Kelsey wore an off the shoulder peach coloured ruffled dress and white wedge heels.

The party was attended by some famous faces, with EastEnders star Louisa Lytton taking her young daughter Aura Olivia. Grammy nominated Ruth Anne also went to the party to wish Aurelia a happy birthday.

The party comes after Kelsey recently spoke out about the difficulties she's faced since Tom's passing, revealing her daughter worries whenever Kelsey goes to work.

Speaking on on Channel 4's Steph's Packed Lunch, Kelsey said: "Aurelia does understand, she knows that her dad's gone and he's not coming back.

"It's hard because when I go, if I'm going to work or anything, she's like where's my mummy going, is she coming back? I think that's what's hard.

"Bodhi has no clue, but Aurelia, she struggles with it so much more because she's so aware."

Kelsey also revealed Aurelia still talks to her dad.

She said: "She does talk to him. I tell her she can talk to daddy and he's always listening, he's around all the time. And then the other day she was like daddy I love you. It's hard.

"My kids don't wake up sad, so I can't wake up sad. They're awake and they're like what's happening, what's for breakfast, what's on TV. I can't wake up sad, I'm doing it for them."
