Kelsey Parker reflects on "bittersweet" pregnancy news

Kelsey, speaking to OK! magazine, said the pregnancy news was "bittersweet".

She explained that on one hand there was the "joy" of finding out she's pregnant, while also thinking "my life could have been so different” as she and Tom wanted to have four children.

Kelsey added: "I’ve felt every emotion under the sun.

“I’m still getting my head around it but I’m so excited. And I know I’m putting myself out there, telling people.

"I just want everyone to be as happy as I am.”

She continued: “I’m just trying to find joy. I love my children – they’ve got me through the worst times. So I feel like I’ve been blessed with another.

“If I dwelled on everything that’s happened, I wouldn’t be here. Tom was my soulmate. I’m still angry he’s gone. But I can’t live in sadness. Tom wouldn’t want that.”

Kelsey also revealed Tom's mother, Noreen Parker, "gave me her blessing instantly”.

"We’ve all been through so much together. But I’m here and bringing another baby into the world.”
