Tom Parker’s widow Kelsey says Deborah James was 'a pillar of strength' for late star

Tom Parker's widow Kelsey has paid tribute to Deborah James and explained how the BBC presenter was "a pillar of strength" for The Wanted star prior to his tragic death in March.

Mum-of-two Kelsey, 32, sent "earth angel" Deborah, 40, a supportive message on Tuesday, just hours after the popular podcaster told fans the "time has come to say goodbye", following a five-year battle with stage 4 bowel cancer.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, Kelsey dubbed mum-of-two Deborah "a hero" and provided a link to the campaigner's link to the BowelBabe Fund, which has now hit £2million since launching on Monday.
