    She became a widow in March 2022 when her husband Tom died after battle with brain cancer aged just 33. 

    Now it’s been reported that she met her new man while she was fundraising in honour of her late husband.

    Just days before announcing her new romance, Kelsey revealed to The Sun that she finally felt lifted out of the ‘fog’ of grief and is now in a ‘better place’.

    A source told the publication: ‘Will and Kelsey really hit if off earlier this year and he has been incredibly supportive of her.’ 

    The insider continued: ‘He helped her at a recent charity football match for Tom Parker and has attended other events.

    ‘She hasn’t been shy about their romance and they pair looked very loved up at a gala last week.’

    Kelsey said that she feels in a much better place than in the year following Tom’s tragic death. 

    ‘I’m in a better place than I was. I think I just jumped straight back into work, because ultimately, I was thinking “S***, I need to provide for the kids”,’ she said.

    ‘Now I feel lighter and I feel like I can see more clearly,’ she added. ‘I think I was having an out of body experience.’

    In November 2022, eight months after Parker's death, she began dating electrician Sean Boggans - although they split last December

    On his website, James’ music is described as ‘drawing on foundations routed within pop and country music – his vocal style has a unique sound and has developed into what it is today through his love of blues and Americana.’ 

    MailOnline has contacted Kelsey’s representatives for comment.

    Last year, Kelsey said that she knew her late husband Parker would ‘send the right man for her,’ weeks before she revealed her new romance.

    She went on to date electrician Sean Boggans in November of that year, although they have since split.

    In an interview with OK! Magazine back in June, Kelsey shared that she knows Parker will ‘send the right man for her.’

    She said: ‘When it’s meant to be, it’ll be, and that person will be sent by Tom, I reckon. He’s picking them for me.’

    Detailing her thoughts on her now-ex Boggans, who she dated following Parker’s death, she added: ‘I think he sent Sean for a reason. Sean was what I needed at the time and he was wonderful. 

    ‘I’ll never say a bad word about him. But, right now, I need to focus on work and providing for my children.’

    After reports the couple met at a memorial match for Tom, Kelsey explained they actually met ‘authentically’ on a night out in Kent. 

    ‘I think it was a mutual feeling between us. I don’t know, it was just very [unexpected] Obviously I wasn’t expecting to find anyone, and he’s literally just swept me off my feet’. 

    Going on to say: ‘Bodhi turned four yesterday, and I can’t actually believe it. I was 35 weeks pregnant with him when Tom was diagnosed [with a brain tumour] so I feel his whole life, for the past four years has been so crazy’. 

    ‘Thankfully, we’re in a good place and we celebrated yesterday, but I’ve not even thought about Christmas yet. I’ve been so busy with work and moving forward with life’.

    It comes after Kelsey shared a heartbreaking message about grief as she thanked fans for their support amid her new romance. 

    After breaking the news about her new boyfriend, she was forced to hit back at hateful messages from trolls.

    And taking to Instagram on last month, Kelsey thanked fans supporting her through her new romance, admitting she as ‘hesitant’ to share this part of her life. 

    ‘Grief is something I will always talk about it – it will always be part of mine and the kids’ lives,’ she said.

    Kelsey’s message said: ‘I just wanted to say thank you for all the love and support on my post. I was really hesitant to share this part of my life, especially since so many of you know me from my life from Tom and the horrific grief I’ve been dealing with after losing him. 

    ‘Opening up about my journey over the past couple of years has been incredibly healing, allowing me to connect with others who’ve gone through similar experiences and build a beautiful, supportive community. 

    ‘Tom will always be a huge part of my life – there’s no question about that. I will always love him and think about him every day.’

    She added: ‘But I’m now navigating this path as a single mum and at times it has been challenging. 

    It comes after Kelsey shared a heartbreaking message about grief as she thanked fans for their support amid her new romance.

    ‘Grief is something I will always talk about it – it will always be part of mine and the kids’ lives. Thank you for your continued support always. Love Kels.’

    Kelsey revealed she met Will while she was fundraising in honour of her late husband. 

    In lines from her new book, Kelsey Parker: With And Without You, obtained by The Sun, Kelsey reflected on her journey with grief and finding love again.

    Kelsey went on to date electrician Sean Boggans in November 2022 following her husband’s death the previous March, although they ended up splitting for good in December 2023 after an on-off relationship.

    Kelsey did not share any specific details about her new man, but she received several supportive messages from her celebrity friends.

    ‘Kelsey and Sean split up around the anniversary of Tom’s death – her head was all over the place around that time and she had a wobble, but Sean still really liked her and pursued her,’ a source told The Sun.

    ‘After a few weeks of talking they got back together – she couldn’t ignore her feelings for him. It’s been really hard for them but she wants to give it a shot.’

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

    Shaun was discovered by police laying on the pavement at about 1am with a brain haemorrhage. A postmortem found that he died as a result of head injuries, with Boggans handed a four-year sentence by a judge at the Old Bailey.

    Despite finally finding happiness again, Kelsey was inundated with vile messages about not ‘grieving properly’ despite finding it hard to cope. 

    Kelsey hit back at trolls as she told The Daily Star: ‘When you’ve lost someone you love so much, it proves to you that you’ve only got one life. 

    ‘Tom would want me to be happy. You’ve got one life, so you should live it. That’s what he’s taught us.

    ‘When it comes to dating again… what’s it got to do with anyone else? I think whatever makes you happy in life, you’ve got to do it.’

    ‘There is so much stigma on how you should grieve. People think you should wear black with a veil over my face and be a walking widow. But that’s not the case. I’m still young and I’ve got kids to look after.

    ‘There is no rule book for grief out there and I’m saying to people: don’t worry about how you’re grieving because there is no right or wrong way to do it.

    ‘You could be smiling one minute and then deep in emotion the next minute. There is no wrong or right way.’

    Kelsey previously said her late husband would be ‘happy’ if she found love again following his death.

    She and Parker were together for around 13 years. They announced their engagement in 2016 and married in a romantic ceremony in Surrey in 2018. 

    Parker was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma in October 2020, and was given just 12 months to live by doctors.

    In September 2021, 11 months on from the diagnosis, Parker sang at the Stand Up 2 Cancer show at the Royal Albert Hall and even embarked on a Greatest Hits tour with his bandmates when the tumour was confirmed as ‘stable’ in November.

    But a close family friend revealed today that Parker’s condition deteriorated rapidly once the tour came to an end, and he died in March 2022.

    As well as the update in her private life, Kelsey is also focusing on work as she has been unveiled as one of the parenting experts who will take to the stage at The Baby Show, with Lidl GB – the UK’s largest and best-loved pregnancy and baby event.

    Kelsey Parker Knew Her Late Husband Had Sent the Right Man

     In an interview with OK! Magazine back in June, Kelsey shared that she knows Tom will ‘send the right man for her’

    Taking place at Olympia Events (formerly Olympia London) between Friday 25th and Sunday 27th October, she joins a slew of well-known names sharing their parenting journeys.

    Kelsey’s role on the day will see her host the Mum’s the Word! Q&A alongside Georgia Jones, where they will chat to This Morning’s Sian Welby. 

    Other exciting details of the roster include a Q&A with Olympian, Amber Rutter – hosted by Baby2Body’s Melinda Nicci and a Dads Panel – hosted by CBeebies’ Nigel Clarke – with Blue star, Simon Webbe and Britain’s Got Talent’s Ashley Glazebrook.

    Love Island star Olivia Bowen will also be taking to the stage.

    ‘She hasn’t been shy about their romance and they pair looked very loved up at a gala last week.’

    Kelsey said that she feels in a much better place than in the year following Tom’s tragic death. 

    ‘I’m in a better place than I was. I think I just jumped straight back into work, because ultimately, I was thinking ‘S***, I need to provide for the kids’,’ she said.

    ‘Now I feel lighter and I feel like I can see more clearly,’ she added. ‘I think I was having an out of body experience.’

    The last Tom Parker Charity Football March took place on June 16, Father’s Day. It is not known if that’s when the pair met.  

    On his website, James’ music is described as ‘drawing on foundations routed within pop and country music – his vocal style has a unique sound and has developed into what it is today through his love of blues and Americana.’ 

    MailOnline has contacted Kelsey’s representatives for comment.  

    Last year, Kelsey said that she knew her late husband Parker would ‘send the right man for her,’ weeks before she revealed her new romance.

    She went on to date electrician Sean Boggans in November of that year, although they have since split.

    In an interview with OK! Magazine back in June, Kelsey shared that she knows Parker will ‘send the right man for her.’

    She said: ‘When it’s meant to be, it’ll be, and that person will be sent by Tom, I reckon. He’s picking them for me.’

    Detailing her thoughts on her now-ex Boggans, who she dated following Parker’s death, she added: ‘I think he sent Sean for a reason. Sean was what I needed at the time and he was wonderful. 

    ‘I’ll never say a bad word about him. But, right now, I need to focus on work and providing for my children.’

    Over the weekend, Kelsey took to Instagram to share a snap of herself cosying up to her new partner.

    She was in great spirits as the pair embraced and Kelsey simply captioned the post with a heart emoji.  

    Kelsey did not share any specific details about her new man, but she received several supportive messages from her celebrity friends.

    In November 2022, eight months after Parker’s death, she began dating electrician Sean Boggans – although they split last December. 

    The pair were introduced by friends at a wedding in London’s Greenwich last October, but split as the first anniversary of Parker’s death approached.

    ‘Kelsey and Sean split up around the anniversary of Tom’s death – her head was all over the place around that time and she had a wobble, but Sean still really liked her and pursued her,’ a source told The Sun.

    ‘After a few weeks of talking they got back together – she couldn’t ignore her feelings for him. It’s been really hard for them but she wants to give it a shot.’

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

    He was waiting for his then-girlfriend to collect him when an argument broke out with Shaun, who was knocked to the ground during the skirmish. CCTV footage later captured the electrician walking away from the scene.

    Shaun was discovered by police laying on the pavement at about 1am with a brain haemorrhage. A postmortem found that he died as a result of head injuries, with Boggans handed a four-year sentence by a judge at the Old Bailey.

    Despite finally finding happiness again, Kelsey was inundated with vile messages about not ‘grieving properly’ despite finding it hard to cope. 

    Kelsey hit back at trolls as she told The Daily Star: ‘When you’ve lost someone you love so much, it proves to you that you’ve only got one life. 

    ‘Tom would want me to be happy. You’ve got one life, so you should live it. That’s what he’s taught us.

    ‘When it comes to dating again… what’s it got to do with anyone else? I think whatever makes you happy in life, you’ve got to do it.’

    ‘There is so much stigma on how you should grieve. People think you should wear black with a veil over my face and be a walking widow. But that’s not the case. I’m still young and I’ve got kids to look after.

    ‘There is no rule book for grief out there and I’m saying to people: don’t worry about how you’re grieving because there is no right or wrong way to do it.

    She and Parker were together for around 13 years. They announced their engagement in 2016 and married in a romantic ceremony in Surrey in 2018. 

    Parker was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma in October 2020, and was given just 12 months to live by doctors.

    In September 2021, 11 months on from the diagnosis, Parker sang at the Stand Up 2 Cancer show at the Royal Albert Hall and even embarked on a Greatest Hits tour with his bandmates when the tumour was confirmed as ‘stable’ in November.

    But a close family friend revealed today that Parker’s condition deteriorated rapidly once the tour came to an end, and he died in March 2022.

    She ended the post by paying tribute to Tom’s love of football ahead of England’s match on Sunday, writing: ‘P.S Come on Tommy Boy bring it home for us ⚽️ I know you would be so buzzing today ❤️.’

    Speaking ahead of the two-year anniversary since his death, Kelsey told MailOnline: ‘March is such a difficult month for us as a family. I can’t actually believe that in just a couple of weeks it will be two years since we lost Tom. 

    ‘It’s so strange as some days I feel like it only happened yesterday, and then on others I feel like so much time has gone by since we last saw him and it just breaks my heart. I think about him every single day and that won’t ever change.’

    Last year, Kelsey launched a charity football match in Tom’s honour, which took place on Father’s Day, and she was delighted to announce that a second one will be taking place on this year’s Father’s Day – June 16. Kelsey’s sponsor is James Ryan from Grove Gallery who did the event last year

    Kelsey said: ‘One thing I promised myself and Tom was to continue his legacy. Brain tumours kill more children and adults under 40 than any other cancer. 

    ‘That is more than leukaemia, prostate and breast cancer, yet the government only gives brain tumour research 1 per cent of its funding. 

    ‘More needs to be done and I feel like when Tom passed he handed the baton over to me to continue raising awareness and funding. 

    ‘We can’t keep losing our children, husbands, wives, parents, brothers and sisters to this cancer. 

    ‘So, as part of Tom’s legacy, we will be holding a second charity football match in his honour this Father’s Day. It’s a great way for Rae and Bo to remember and celebrate their dad, I don’t want them to feel sadness.

    ‘The money raised will go back into research and to help families like mine who have lost a loved one. 

    ‘We’ve had so much celebrity support and interest already and I can’t wait to start revealing who will be taking part in this year’s line up.’

    100% of the proceeds raised from the game were donated to brain tumour charity’s Ahead of The Game – which helps fund lifesaving treatment and support affected families.

    The charity invests in cancer sufferers and their families providing rehabilitation, mental and emotional support as well as financial help.

    Sharing an update to Instagram on Sunday, the kids could be seen proudly holding up Father’s Day cards.

    She explained: ‘Today is such a difficult day for so many. Look at this picture of happiness, you’d never think in a million years these happy, proud children are growing up without their Dad, the most heartbreaking situation for me and my family, like so many others up and down the country.’

    Kelsey continued: Father’s Day will never be the same without you, life will never be the same without you Tom.

    ‘I need you so much right now as I’m facing big (and daily little) decisions about Rae and Bo and their futures and I just want to know what you’d think and what you want me to do.

    ‘Please keep guiding us. I’m so grateful for every little sign and to know these kids are so loved by us all. I know you never leave their side. Here’s to celebrating you and all the Dads that deserve to be celebrated today.

    ‘Today is all about you Tom. Our annual charity football match all in your name and in your honour. A huge thank you to our celebrity players, Scott our MC and everyone who has dedicated the last few months to planning this hugely important charity event.

    ‘To everyone coming down and supporting us today, a massive thank you. Making this event a big success is so important to us. We want Tommy to feel our love on this special day.

    ‘So let’s bring the joy, the love, the generosity. We have lots of children and families affected by brain tumours joining us today and we want to make it special for them as well as raising lots of money to help beat this awful disease.

    ‘We hope we make you proud Tom. Happy Father’s Day to the best Daddy. You may not have got the chance to kick a ball with Bodhi and I’ll never understand how or why that opportunity was taken from us, but I’m just going to stay focused on the fact you’ll watch every single game the boy ever plays and you’ll be sprinkling your gold dust on him every time.’

    She added in an interview with The Mirror : ‘Coming up to Father’s Day it is hard. Their teachers asked me, ‘Are they OK to make cards in class?’ and I said, ‘Yes, we’ll celebrate their dad.”

    Kelsey added: ‘We put their Father’s Day cards on the side and we look at them, exactly the same as we do on Mother’s Day.’

    WHAT IS A GLIOBLASTOMA?

    Glioblastoma is considered the most aggressive tumor that can form in the brain. Senator John McCain was diagnosed with one in July 2017.

    Patients have a 10 percent chance of surviving five years after their diagnosis, according to figures. The average lifespan is between 14 and 16 months.

    Three adults per every 100,000 will be struck down with a glioblastoma, says The American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS).

    It is most commonly found in men aged 50 to 60, and there is no link between developing glioblastoma and having a previous history with other cancers.

    WHAT IS THE TUMOR MADE OF? 

    The tumor is made up of a mass of cells growing quickly in the brain, and in most cases patients have no family history of the disease.

    It won’t spread to other organs, however, once it is diagnosed, it is nearly impossible to target, surgeons claim.

    Unlike other types of brain cancer which are more specifically located, glioblastoma can occur in any part of the brain. 

    WHAT TREATMENT IS AVAILABLE? 

    Because the tumor likely already spread deep into the brain by the time it is diagnosed, the cancerous tissue is incredibly difficult to remove. 

    Surgeon will only ever remove the tumor, or part of the tumor, if it won’t do any damage to the surrounding brain tissue.

    Dr Babcar Cisse, a neurosurgeon at the Weill Cornell Brain and Spine Center, told Daily Mail Online in July 2017: ‘By the time a glioblastoma is diagnosed, microfibers can spread to the rest of the brain which an MRI would not spot.

    ‘So even if the main tumor is removed and the patient receives radiation and chemotherapy, it will come back.’ 

    GRADING A GLIOBLASTOMA

    Brain tumors are graded from between one to four, depending on how fast they grow and how aggressive they are.

    Malignant tumors are either given a high-grade three or four, while benign ones are given a lower grade one or two. 

    Glioblastoma is often referred to as a grade four astrocytoma – another form of brain tumor, says the AANS.

    SYMPTOMS

    Patients typically complain of symptoms such as confused vision, trouble with memory, dizziness and headaches.

    The symptoms are somewhat nonspecific, and vary from person to person, and may not persist. 

    The disease is therefore impossible to diagnose based on symptoms alone.

    Kelsey added: ‘We put their Father’s Day cards on the side and we look at them, exactly the same as we do on Mother’s Day.’

    For the second year running, she will host the the Tom Parker Charity Football Match at Bromley Football Club in an attempt to tackle the lack of funding given to research for the killer disease. 

    She hopes the event can help her two young children ‘remember and celebrate’ their dad, as she doesn’t want them to ‘feel sadness’. 

    Speaking ahead of the two-year anniversary since his death, Kelsey told MailOnline: ‘March is such a difficult month for us as a family. I can’t actually believe that in just a couple of weeks it will be two years since we lost Tom. 

    ‘It’s so strange as some days I feel like it only happened yesterday, and then on others I feel like so much time has gone by since we last saw him and it just breaks my heart. I think about him every single day and that won’t ever change.’

    Last year, Kelsey launched a charity football match in Tom’s honour, which took place on Father’s Day, and she was delighted to announce that a second one will be taking place on this year’s Father’s Day – June 16. Kelsey’s sponsor is James Ryan from Grove Gallery who did the event last year

    Kelsey said: ‘One thing I promised myself and Tom was to continue his legacy. Brain tumours kill more children and adults under 40 than any other cancer. 

    ‘That is more than leukaemia, prostate and breast cancer, yet the government only gives brain tumour research 1 per cent of its funding. 

    ‘More needs to be done and I feel like when Tom passed he handed the baton over to me to continue raising awareness and funding. 

    ‘We can’t keep losing our children, husbands, wives, parents, brothers and sisters to this cancer. 

    ‘So, as part of Tom’s legacy, we will be holding a second charity football match in his honour this Father’s Day. It’s a great way for Rae and Bo to remember and celebrate their dad, I don’t want them to feel sadness.

  • Max George and Siva Kaneswaran from The Wanted are reuniting for a tour of India after two years, fulfilling a dream.

    Max George and Siva Kaneswaran from The Wanted are reuniting for a tour of India after two years, fulfilling a dream.

    The Wanted stars Max George and Siva Kaneswaran have announced they are reuniting for a series of tour date in India in May.

    The duo revealed they are heading to the country for the first time on Instagram following the tragic death of their former bandmate Tom Parker.

    Max and Siva will take to the stage without their other fellow bandmembers Jay McGuiness and Nathan Sykes.

    Max said the tour is a ‘dream come true’ and revealed he will perform with Siva in Mumbai and Bagalore next month.

    Max wrote: ‘Myself and Siva can’t wait for this! Our first time in India… Dream come true!’

    This will be the first time they will hit the road after previously all five members touring in early 2022. 

    Weeks later Tom died aged 33 on March 30, 2022 following an 18-month battle with stage four glioblastoma brain cancer.

    It is unclear why Nathan is not joining Max and Siva but Jay has recently been busy promoting his debut book Blood Flowers around the UK.

    Jay also announced on Tuesday that he will he heading to Ireland with the hit show 2:22 alongside former Love Island host Laura Whitmore, EastEnders star Shona McGarty and Once Upon a Time actor Colin O’Donoghue.

    The news of the duo tour comes after Max made nearly £3,500 flogging his old clothes on Depop after joining the site at the beginning of this year. 

    The Glad You Came singer revealed in January he had joined the host of stars flogging designer clothes on the app amid a government crackdown on secondhand sellers.

    And three months on, the musician has already made a profit of £3,500 as he flogs a selection of items from his expensive wardrobe and memorabilia from his touring days.

    However there is plenty still up for grabs, with £12,000 of Max’s garments still unwanted, including some quirky bright orange Gucci boots and a whopping £4,000 for a Dolce & Gabbana Men’s Brown Jacket.

    The Gucci x The North Face Men’s Orange Boots are on the site for £725, as Max describes them as ‘hardly worn’ and still in the box they were purchased in.  

    Meanwhile the designer jacket was worn in the cover art for The Wanted’s hit 2010 song All Time Low, as the listing reads: ‘Worn once, perfect condition, one of a kind piece’.

    In a bid to shift the 53 remaining items of stock, Max has even reduced the price of some items after he decreased a £140 ‘excellent condition’ Off-White Men’s Jumper down to £126.

    The fresh rules introduced on January 1 mean online sellers who surpass a £1,000 threshold for the year must register as self-employed and will be expected to fill out a tax return form. 

    It won’t affect those who are already reporting their earnings to HMRC and people won’t need to declare earnings under £1,000. 

    Max joins a host of other celebrities using the site, including Katie Price, Georgia Toffolo and Frankie Bridge.  

    Former S Club Juniors singer Frankie  shifted more than £10,000 worth of clothing of which all proceeds went to mental health charity Mind.

    While Game of Thrones actress Maisie Williams gave the proceeds from her £5,476.50 worth of sales to Mind, Cancer Research UK and the Dolphin Project.

    It is unclear why Nathan is not joining Max and Siva but Jay has recently been busy promoting his debut book Blood Flowers around the UK.

    The star revealed one A-list rocker once secretly flew her to LA first class after meeting her at the MTV Awards in 2001. 

    She said: ‘Oh it was so long ago. But do you remember Limp Bizkit? This guy called Fred Durst, [the lead singer, now 53], he and I were kind of vibing… I was presenting an award and we were talking all night.

    ‘My publicist looked at me and he said, “Cap, it’s seven o’clock, you have a flight in an hour and a half” and I’m like, “OK Fred, see you later.”

    ‘I got on the plane back to London and collapsed afterwards and then I got this text from Fred, saying, “I hope you don’t mind, I got your number, but I have a first class ticket to come to New York. Let’s have lunch”.

    ‘I was like “So what? Are you joking?” And you know, back then I was of the mindset that I could do everything myself. I didn’t need anyone to buy me anything.

    ‘But even so, I did… I got on the plane and I went and had lunch with him and I realized he wasn’t for me and then I got back on the plane and came back to London.

    ‘At least I definitely don’t have any “what if” moments from it. I did quite a lot in the past.’ 

    Revealing why she got the ‘ick’ on the date, Caprice said: ‘ Oh, it was a bit vacuous, you know, the conversation. He’s a really nice guy. A a super nice guy, but there was just no connection.’

    Kelsey, 33, who has Aurelia, four, and three-year-old Bodhi with the late star, hopes the event can help her two young children ‘remember and celebrate’ their dad, as she doesn’t want them to ‘feel sadness’

    For the second year running, she will host the the Tom Parker Charity Football Match at Bromley Football Club in an attempt to tackle the lack of funding given to research for the killer disease. 

    She hopes the event can help her two young children ‘remember and celebrate’ their dad, as she doesn’t want them to ‘feel sadness’. 

    Speaking ahead of the two-year anniversary since his death, Kelsey told MailOnline: ‘March is such a difficult month for us as a family. I can’t actually believe that in just a couple of weeks it will be two years since we lost Tom. 

    ‘It’s so strange as some days I feel like it only happened yesterday, and then on others I feel like so much time has gone by since we last saw him and it just breaks my heart. I think about him every single day and that won’t ever change.’

    Last year, Kelsey launched a charity football match in Tom’s honour, which took place on Father’s Day, and she was delighted to announce that a second one will be taking place on this year’s Father’s Day – June 16. Kelsey’s sponsor is James Ryan from Grove Gallery who did the event last year

    Kelsey said: ‘One thing I promised myself and Tom was to continue his legacy. Brain tumours kill more children and adults under 40 than any other cancer. 

    ‘That is more than leukaemia, prostate and breast cancer, yet the government only gives brain tumour research 1 per cent of its funding. 

    ‘More needs to be done and I feel like when Tom passed he handed the baton over to me to continue raising awareness and funding. 

    ‘We can’t keep losing our children, husbands, wives, parents, brothers and sisters to this cancer. 

    ‘So, as part of Tom’s legacy, we will be holding a second charity football match in his honour this Father’s Day. It’s a great way for Rae and Bo to remember and celebrate their dad, I don’t want them to feel sadness.

    ‘The money raised will go back into research and to help families like mine who have lost a loved one. 

    ‘We’ve had so much celebrity support and interest already and I can’t wait to start revealing who will be taking part in this year’s line up.’

    Brothers Ryan and Scott Thomas, X Factor’s Jake Quickenden and Love Island’s Nathan Massey were among the stars who supported Kelsey last year.

    100% of the proceeds raised from the game will be donated to brain tumour charity’s Ahead of The Game – which helps fund lifesaving treatment and support affected families.

    The charity invests in cancer sufferers and their families providing rehabilitation, mental and emotional support as well as financial help.

    It comes after Kelsey revealed she had come to the ‘painful’ decision to take off her wedding rings after months of ‘torturing herself’.

    Following Tom’s death Kelsey found happiness with former convict Sean Boggans, who was jailed in 2013 for four years after he killed a man with one punch, but they later split.

    Taking to Instagram last month she said she wanted to do something special with her engagement and wedding ring so as ‘to honour my marriage with Tom, while not living in the past’.

    Alongside a photo montage of their 13-year relationship, Kelsey wrote: ‘Hi everyone, hope you have had a lovely Sunday.

    ‘I wanted to share something with you all this evening. It’s something I’ve been thinking long and hard about for a while now, and as we end the first week of a new year, I have decided to take off my rings.

    Kelsey told MailOnline: 'March is such a difficult month for us as a family. I can't actually believe that in just a couple of weeks it will be two years since we lost Tom.'

    Kelsey told MailOnline: ‘March is such a difficult month for us as a family. I can’t actually believe that in just a couple of weeks it will be two years since we lost Tom.’

    ‘It felt really painful every time I looked at them and I have been torturing myself over when will be the right time. 

    ‘I know now there will never be a right or wrong time, but there does have to come a point in my life when I remove them.

    ‘Of course I’ll always be Tom’s, he’ll always be in my heart and I know I will forever be in his, but right now, in this world I’m not married anymore as much as that breaks my heart to admit.’

    Kelsey asked fans for their creative ideas about how she could do something ‘special’ with the rings until she bestows them to their children Aurelia, four, and son Bodhi, three.

    She continued: ‘Sometimes I wonder if I’ve left them on too long and other times I think I just expected to wear them forever.

    ‘How do I protect and honour my marriage to Tom while not living in the past?!

    ‘Anyway, I’m going on here, but it is something I wanted to share with you all as you give me so much love and support. 

    ‘Please do send me any ideas you have of what I could do with my rings, and no hate please! I want 2024 to be a positive year and I have no space for negative energy or comments. Love and light xxx’.

    WHAT IS A GLIOBLASTOMA?

    Glioblastoma is considered the most aggressive tumor that can form in the brain. Senator John McCain was diagnosed with one in July 2017.

    Patients have a 10 percent chance of surviving five years after their diagnosis, according to figures. The average lifespan is between 14 and 16 months.

    Three adults per every 100,000 will be struck down with a glioblastoma, says The American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS).

    It is most commonly found in men aged 50 to 60, and there is no link between developing glioblastoma and having a previous history with other cancers.

    WHAT IS THE TUMOR MADE OF? 

    The tumor is made up of a mass of cells growing quickly in the brain, and in most cases patients have no family history of the disease.

    It won’t spread to other organs, however, once it is diagnosed, it is nearly impossible to target, surgeons claim.

    Unlike other types of brain cancer which are more specifically located, glioblastoma can occur in any part of the brain. 

    WHAT TREATMENT IS AVAILABLE? 

    Because the tumor likely already spread deep into the brain by the time it is diagnosed, the cancerous tissue is incredibly difficult to remove. 

    Surgeon will only ever remove the tumor, or part of the tumor, if it won’t do any damage to the surrounding brain tissue.

    Dr Babcar Cisse, a neurosurgeon at the Weill Cornell Brain and Spine Center, told Daily Mail Online in July 2017: ‘By the time a glioblastoma is diagnosed, microfibers can spread to the rest of the brain which an MRI would not spot.

    ‘So even if the main tumor is removed and the patient receives radiation and chemotherapy, it will come back.’ 

    GRADING A GLIOBLASTOMA

    Brain tumors are graded from between one to four, depending on how fast they grow and how aggressive they are.

    Malignant tumors are either given a high-grade three or four, while benign ones are given a lower grade one or two. 

    Glioblastoma is often referred to as a grade four astrocytoma – another form of brain tumor, says the AANS.

    SYMPTOMS

    Patients typically complain of symptoms such as confused vision, trouble with memory, dizziness and headaches.

    The symptoms are somewhat nonspecific, and vary from person to person, and may not persist. 

    The disease is therefore impossible to diagnose based on symptoms alone.

    She continued: ‘For my kids, they will be able to see what I went through and see more about our relationship. 

    ‘I do find music quite painful to listen to, having two young kids and being a solo parent we talk about Tom all the time to keep his memory alive.

    ‘I was 35 weeks pregnant with Bodhi when Tom was diagnosed. It ripped our whole family apart, just surviving on my own and being the mum and the dad is so tough.’

    It comes after Kelsey shared a heartbreaking tribute to her late husband as she and her children prepared to mark two-years since his death. 

    Taking to Instagram with sweet montage of Tom with their kids Aurelia and Bodhi Kelsey said the absence he had ‘left in their lives was huge’.

    ‘I still can’t quite believe it is almost two years since he passed. I know he is watching over me and the kids every day, but his physical absence from our lives is so huge.

    ‘I miss his banter and his laugh so much. I’d do anything to have one more day with him. I think about him every single day, and I think March will always be a difficult month.’
