Kelsey Parker

Fearne Cotton
About this episode

Kelsey’s husband, The Wanted’s Tom Parker, publicly announced in October 2020 that he had been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour. He died in March 2022. Since then, Kelsey’s been learning how to navigate her own grief as well as that of their small children.

 

In this chat, she and Fearne explore the idea that we’re all allowed to be multiple things at once; Kelsey is clear she needs space to be strong and resilient, and fall apart at the same time.

 

Kelsey’s new documentary, Kelsey Parker: Life After Tom, is out now on ITVBe.


Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
