Kelsey Parker reveals she's developed health issue from anxiety a year on from husband Tom's death

Kelsey Parker has returned to one of her most treasured places that she visited with her late husband Tom and their children a year on from his tragic death. Doting mum Kelsey was joined by their children, Aurelia, three, and Bodhi, two, at their beloved Broadstairs beach in Kent.

In a candid chat with OK! magazine Kelsey has she's going through the "hardest time" since The Wanted singer Tom died at the age of 33 after a battle with terminal brain cancer glioblastoma. Kelsey, 33, chose to visit Broadstairs as it was a place that meant so much to her and Tom, from Bolton.

“It’s the last holiday that we had,” she said. “Me, Tom and our best friends Kelsey and Dean used to always go on holidays together. We took the kids here and Tom just loved it. We were looking to buy a property down here. And I just think it’s good for your heart to be down by the coast and the sea.”

Noticing that a wave that had lapped up on the shore had left the shape of a love heart in the sand, she said: "I always say that he sends me signs all the time. "It was incredible when the heart appeared. I just massively felt him there.”

Kelsey also revealed that the anxiety she has felt in the build-up to the milestone manifested itself in a tic. “I was just dreading this month,” she told OK! magazine. “When I met my friend for coffee I kept clearing my throat and coughing, like a little tic. I think it’s just the anxiety of this month and the struggle. It’s like living in a s**t show."

She added “I don’t want to feel like it’s s**t. But obviously it is, as it’s so difficult. Me and Tom were the ‘Positive Parkers’
