Tom Parker’s widow said it is “really hard” returning to the Pride Of Britain Awards for the first time without her husband. Kelsey Parker said the event was “full of inspirational people,” similar to those she had encountered while dealing with her husband’s illness.
The Wanted singer died at a hospice near the couple’s south-east London home on March 30 at the age of 33 after suffering from an inoperable brain tumour. He had attended several Pride Of Britain Awards previously, with his band and last year with his wife.
Speaking to the PA news agency on the red carpet of the 2022 event, Ms Parker said “It’s really hard being back here without him. I didn’t realise how hard that was going to be for me. But this is an inspirational night and there are so many inspirational people here so I’ve just got to enjoy it.”
