About

In an emotional and empowering episode, Kelsey Parker - widow of The Wanted’s Tom Parker and mum of his two children, Aurelia and Bodhi  - opens up about losing her husband to a brain tumour. Kelsey shares the story of how they met in a nightclub before he was famous, and how they had the ‘perfect family’ until he was suddenly diagnosed with cancer. Sharing his heartbreaking 18-month fight to survive, Kelsey recalls how they coped with the diagnosis, the day she knew he would die, and breaking the news to their young children that ‘daddy is with the angels’.  In a story about resilience, motherhood and finding light when life falls apart, Kelsey reveals her belief that Tom sent her new partner, Will, and how they are building a life together as a family following the tragic loss of their baby, Phoenix.
