Kelsey Parker has defiantly insisted that her late husband ‘sent’ Will Lindsay to her from the afterlife and has hit back at cruel trolls.

Tom Parker’s widow made her first TV appearance with her new partner on ITV’s Lorraine on Monday. 

Kelsey looked back at the tragic death of The Wanted singer and opened up on her new relationship with Will and their pregnancy.

She previously revealed how she had received a lot of hate online and how ‘it’s almost like people want me to feel guilty for moving on’.

The mother of two was left devastated after husband Tom lost his battle with brain cancer aged just 33 in 2022, four years after they tied the knot. 

Kelsey went on to meet Will and they announced their romance back in September last year.

‘Not really. I just tell you not to look at them don’t I and say thank you because there’s bound to be some people sending nice messages but block out the haters,’ Will replied. 

‘I’m always going to have guilt, but what’s so hard is Tom’s not here anymore so what do people actually want me to do?’ she explained. ‘Our house was full of so much sadness and loss, but now it’s full of happiness, the kids deserve that more than anything. They’ve been through so much, but I feel like we’re taking the steps forward to heal.’

She added: ‘I just want other women to feel like, it’s okay to move on. It’s not taking anything away from the love that I had for Tom is it, by moving on?

‘I do think you have been the best thing to happen to me since losing Tom. You’re so understanding.’

Will echoed Kelsey’s feeling and described her as ‘the best thing that ever happened to me’.

Kelsey went on to add: ‘I do feel like Tom sent you to me. We literally met and just kicked it off straight away.’

Reflecting on the last three years, Kelsey said: ‘It’s been such a tough three years, bringing a baby into this is going to create so much happiness that we all deserve.’

Will said: ‘I’m more excited than I’ve ever been, I can’t wait for it, it makes me warm inside. It’s lovely to come home to you and the kids as it is, let alone a new little baby.’

Last year, Kelsey recounted how she was really lonely following the death of The Wanted star Tom Parker.

She told Ranvir Singh on Lorraine that she never expected to be dealing with something as difficult as the death of a partner at her age.

And while she admitted she is still grieving, she discussed finding love again after becoming a widow at just 32.

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.’

‘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.’

Lorraine airs weekdays on ITV1 from 9am and is available to stream on ITVX.
