Tom died aged 33 in March 2022 and Kelsey told The Sun: “Today my daughter said something like, ‘I see a winter. Oh Daddy, do you see this?’.

“She’ll go on to my nan’s ­garden, and be like, ‘Oh dad . . . ’. I’m really into it.

“I’ll say, ‘Talk to your dad’.

“The kids know everything about what happened.

“They understand what a tumour is.”

Kelsey added of their Christmas plans: “We’d always go to my mum’s but I don’t want to always do the same as what we did.

“So this year my family are coming to me.

Tom loved Christmas.

“We’d both go shopping and decorate the tree and he’d go extreme because he was so into this time of year.

“And it has kind of made me not like Christmas, even though I’m a very positive person.”

Kelsey was among guests at Action For Children’s Starry Night Gala in Battersea, South London, on Thursday.
