Kelsey Parker lost her husband Tom Parker to brain cancer

Kelsey Parker has opened up about dealing with trolls after she went public with her new relationship.

She lost her husband Tom Parker to brain cancer in 2022 but has found love again.

The mum, who is pregnant with her third child, is in a relationship with Will Lindsay.

They have been met with immense backlash from online trolls since they went public with their relationship last year.

Speaking about the abuse she has been facing, Kelsey said: “I’m always going to have guilt but what’s so hard is that Tom’s not here anymore so what do people want me to do?”

“Our house was full of so much sadness but now it’s full of happiness, the kids deserve that more than anything,” she told ITV’s Lorraine.

Kelsey said her son and daughter have been through enough in their short lives.

“They’ve been through so much, I feel like we are taking the steps forward to heal but I just want other women to feel like it’s OK to move on, it’s not taking anything away from the love I had for Tom,” she stressed.

Kelsey has been met with severe trolling online since revealing she was pregnant with Will’s child.

The mum said people don’t understand what she has been through and said she is entitled to move on.

She told The Sun: “I think people think I should be sitting at home and dressed in black all day. I have two children (and another one on the way) that I have to get out of bed for. People are shocked I go to Tesco but I need to feed my kids.”

Tom Parker passed away from brain cancer in March 2022. He was only 33 years old when he died.
