THE WANTED’S TOM PARKER AND HIS PREGNANT WIFE KELSEY REVEAL TO OK’S KIRSTY HATCHER THE TRAGIC NEWS TOM HAS INOPERABLE CANCER
‘I'M IN SHOCK –YOU NEVER THINK THIS WILL HAPPEN TO YOU'
Whenever OK! has interviewed The Wanted’s Tom Parker and his wife Kelsey, it’s always been to share wonderful news – from their beautiful 2018 wedding, to the announcement they were expecting their second child together earlier this year. But sadly, this time our reasons for sitting down with Tom and Kelsey are very different – and truly heartbreaking.

Shockingly, at the age of just 32, Tom, who had previously been fit and healthy, has been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour and has begun radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment in an effort to prolong his life.

Breaking the tragic news exclusively to OK! in a bid to raise support and awareness, Tom fights back tears, admitting, “It’s all I can think about right now.”
