Tom Parker’s widow Kelsey suffers further heartache as family member dies

Tom Parker’s widow, Kelsey, has suffered further heartbreak after losing her grandfather just nine months after her husband lost his battle with stage four glioblastoma brain cancer at age 33.

The mother of two is said to be heartbroken after her grandfather, Peter Morris, died last week aged 84. She had been battling leukemia for the past few months.

According to SunPeter, who appeared on Kelsey’s ITVBe show Kelsey Parker: Life After Tom, died the morning after it aired on television.

A source told the publication: ‘There has been more heartbreak for poor Kels. He lost his grandfather to cancer last week, the morning after his show came on.

“He was diagnosed only a few months ago, but he was in pain and now he is pain free. Kelsey is sure that she has reunited with Tom.

Tom endured a 20-month battle with brain cancer and was survived by his children, Aurelia, three, and Bodhi, two.

Kelsey shared her struggles with grief on her new show and could be seen getting frustrated when Tom’s bandmate george max he asked her ‘how she was coping’ with the death of her late husband.

The widow, 32, was reading messages on Tom’s birthday when she came across one from Max, 34, who was in the boy band The Wanted with his partner.

In one scene, he was at home reading all the text messages he had received that day and he said he had one from Max.

She said: ‘Oh, I have a lot of messages, Max George has sent me a message saying ‘how are you doing Kels?’ but messages like that just think ‘what do you want me to say? How do I manage?

Getting visibly upset, she added, ‘How are you dealing with Max… obviously he’s doing it because he really cares about how I’m dealing, but you know what you put? How do you manage?

Tom and Max formed The Wanted with Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness and Nathan Sykes.

Kelsey has admitted that she struggles with feelings of loneliness and guilt following the death of her husband of four years.

As Kelsey moves on with her life in the midst of a heartbreaking time, MailOnline revealed last month that she is now in the early stages of a relationship with her new man, Sean Boggans.

However, the mother-of-two is still processing her grief and appeared on Thursday’s Good Morning Britain to talk about her journey and the ITVBe series documenting life after Tom.

Kelsey admitted that she was “worried” about filming, Kelsey Parker: Life After Tom, but it ended up being “the best thing” she could have done.

She explained: ‘It was like therapy for me. I did things on the show that I wouldn’t have necessarily done, but it helped me tremendously. It has pushed me out of my comfort zone.

“I didn’t really understand what pain was. You can feel so many emotions at once. There are so many different elements.

Kelsey revealed that one problem she faced was dealing with “a lot of guilt.”

The businesswoman -who has two children, Aurelia, three, and Bodhi, two, with Tom- explained: “I I know I did everything for Tom.

‘But there’s still that process of guilt. Guilty that I’m still here and looking at my kids and guilty that he’s not experiencing what I’m experiencing with them.’

When asked how she’s coping with ‘moving on with life’ after Tom’s death, Kelsey admitted it was hard to figure out which items of Tom to keep as they’re constant reminders of the fact that he’s no longer with them.

She reasoned, “The memories are here in my heart, so getting rid of an item doesn’t really mean anything, but you don’t know how hard it is.”

“You don’t want to let go because you’re losing them even more.”

The conversation then turned to the loneliness people can feel when grieving, with Kelsey reflecting, ‘AndYou can be in a room full of people and still feel alone.

‘People don’t understand how I feel. Christmas is going to be very hard for me. We are not going to wake up Christmas as a family.

“Grief runs through the whole family and affects us all so differently.”

She added that she hasn’t been able to listen to The Wanted’s music because “hearing Tom’s voice breaks my heart”, saying she wouldn’t wish the feeling of pain on anyone.

Kelsey didn’t mention her new relationship in the chat.

Kelsey and Sean, a father of two, are believed to have met when she took a break with friends in Lindos, Rhodes, in September.

“It’s so early and no one knows what the future will bring, but for now, Kelsey is happy someone else has come into her life,” a source said.

It was also revealed that electrician Sean was jailed in 2013 for killing a stranger with a single blow while waiting for a taxi on the outskirts of East London.

He spent time behind bars after fatally beating Shaun McDermott, 44, during a heated argument over a taxi outside the Havering Oak pub in Romford.

Boggans was waiting for his then-girlfriend to pick him up when an argument broke out with the 44-year-old, who fell to the ground during the skirmish. CCTV footage later captured the electrician walking away from the scene.
