Speaking on the podcast, Kelsey, who is now pregnant with her new partner Will Lindsay, 27, who works as a tree surgeon, recalled the touching moments she had with The Wanted singer before he passed away on March 30th 2022.
Tom revealed in October 2020 that he had an inoperable stage 4 glioblastoma on the brain, doctors described it as “the worst case scenario”.
Kelsey said at this point Tom had lost much of his voice but was able to hold the conversation one last time.
I know you're holding on for me but you can go, I know you've had enough.

"It came back for that, it was just, he just used to give me what I needed," she explained.

"We spoke about the kids and I just said to him as well at that point like 'You can go, really, I know you're holding on for me but you can go, I know you've had enough.'"
"And he had had enough, he'd fought so hard and I knew at that point he's like 'I've had enough girls I'm knackered.'
"He'd just been on tour and I think with Tom, he loved that he was the pop star and that about him.
"I feel like he'd lost himself with it all as well which was so sad and I don't think he could live in this lifetime with what he'd become."

Kelsey Parker ‘wasn’t really trying’ for a baby but says ‘it’s meant to be’ & calls out Will for ‘not being supportive'
While the mum is obviously heartbroken by her partner's death, she revealed it was the perfect way to go as he was surrounded by loved ones.
"I always talk about it, I think people must just think 'What she's talking about' but if I could die like him I would be so happy."
She also revealed that her spirituality increased after Tom passed, as she asked him to show her signs that he was still around.
We've woken up and Will was like, 'Is one of the kids downstairs watching TV?' I'm like, no, it's Tom.

In one part of the podcast, she revealed how her TV would often go off during the night and put a game show on.
Her new partner, Will, would wake up frantic, asking if the kids were up, but Kelsey is sure it's Tom sending a sign.
