Tom Parker's wife Kelsey gives positive update about his heath

The Wanted singer Tom Parker's life fell apart last year when he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour at the age of just 32, but after a number of months of treatment, his wife Kelsey has given some positive news.

Appearing on today's (Tuesday 2nd March) episode of Loose Women, Kelsey confirmed the amazing news that Tom's tumour has shrunk, revealing 'we’ve had a significant reduction'.

Chatting to the panel via a video stream, mum-of-two Kelsey said, “Tom’s doing really well. We had a meeting last Thursday and he’s just had another stable scan, so he’s doing so well.

“We’ve only just started our second round of chemotherapy, so we’ve had radio and chemo, we’ve had a bit of a break, because he had a bit of a dodgy liver, and now we’ve just started the second round of chemo."

Kelsey and Tom welcomed their second child into the world back in October last year, a baby boy called Bodhi.

Speaking on Loose Women about her two youngsters, Kelsey said, “They’re doing really well. I just think that they don’t really know that daddy is ill at the moment. When Tom goes off to treatment, he’s off or he’s going to work or wherever he’s going. So to them, they don’t really know how ill their dad actually is. They’re doing so well the kids. We’re all doing really well.”

And it sounds like Kelsey wants more children, adding, “Oh 100%. I want four babies.”

Of course, Kelsey and Tom aren't the only ones going through this horrific ordeal right now, and the 30-year-old was quick to give advice to anybody else suffering.

She said, “Look forward, don’t look back. Take every day as it comes. You’re on a rollercoaster, hold tight and just ride it. It is waves and waves – it is, you’ll get one good day and then you might get three bad days. But then you get another good day. So you just have to keep pushing forward and look forward.

“Every day is so different. Just the recovery, everything, it is one step at a time, that’s all I can say. At the beginning, just listen to your body, do what you can do.”

“Don’t ignore the signs… if you are suffering any headaches, Tom had really bad hearing, his ears were sore, anything like that, go and get checked out. The earlier they can detect this the earlier they can work on it and help you.”
