Tom Parker shares unseen wedding vid as he wishes wife happy birthday amid cancer battle

Tom Parker has wished his wife Kelsey Happy Birthday in the sweetest way.

The Wanted star, 33, has been undergoing cancer treatment in Spain as he continues to battle his terminal diagnosis.

Tom has credited Kelsey, 32, for her unwavering support and took to Instagram sharing a previously unseen video of the couple on their wedding day.

The pair can be seen dancing in all their finery to Oasis' Don't Look back In Anger, before sharing a tender kiss.

The couple look adorable and are surrounded by their family and friends, who joined them for their nuptials at Ridge Farm in Surrey in 2018.

Tom captioned the post: "Happy Birthday to the love of my life @being_kelsey have the best day! You deserve the world #unseen #footage #dontlookbackinanger."

Kelsey and Tom have been together for 10 years and have two children, daughter Aurelia, two, and son Bodhi, one.

Tom was supposed to start a nationwide tour with The Wanted last week, but had to pull out after travelling to Spain for treatment as he continues to battle his brain cancer diagnosis.

The singer had hoped to have been fit for the gig, which kicked off in Glasgow, but he was sadly hit with logistical issues.

Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, the dad-of-two shared a snap of himself and his bandmates and updated his fans with the disappointing news.

"So, as most of you know, I’ve been out in Spain on a treatment programme for the past couple of weeks," he wrote.

"It was only meant to last 20 days but due to a couple of logistical changes with tests and results it won’t be complete until the end of the week now which has delayed our journey home."

Tom continued: "I’m obviously gutted that I’ll be missing the first few shows but as I’m sure you will understand, I have to complete my treatment cycle.

"I’ve been zooming into rehearsals all week and I know that the show will be incredible and that my boys will hold the fort until I’m back."

The star - who has previously spoken out about the lack of funding for cancer patients in the UK - has been spending time in a private facility in Spain over recent weeks.

Tom was initially told he had a grade four glioblastoma and was given a life expectancy of 12 to 18 months.

Thankfully, after six rounds of chemotherapy and 30 radiotherapy sessions, the his condition has improved and both Tom and Kelsey have a positive outlook about things.

"You’ll always be classed as terminal," the singer explained during his TV documentary Inside My Head.

"They give you 12 to 18 months of survival. But that’s the general statistics. Everyone we’ve ­spoken to has been way, way beyond that."
