Kelsey Parker announces her baby has died
Podcast host Kelsey Parker has announced that her baby has died.
Parker revealed she was expecting her third child in January, and on Sunday shared an Instagram post with the news that her son was 'born sleeping'.
She lost her husband, The Wanted star Tom Parker, in 2022 after he was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour, and the baby was her first with her new partner Will Lindsay.
Parker, who is mother to Aurelia, five, and Bodhi, four, with the late singer, shared a poem on Instagram about the boy she was expecting, whom she and Lindsay had named Phoenix.
'For Phoenix, Born Sleeping, Forever Loved,' the poem began, with a caption: 'Phoenix Parker-Lindsay, you will forever be loved.'

After sharing the post, Parker also put up an Instagram story which read: 'Before I receive an influx of lovely messages and heart-felt well wishes, I want to just say that I truly appreciate everything you are all going to say and share.
'But with the news being so raw, I would really like to ensure that we as a family are given space and time to process this devastating and earth-shattering news.
'I love you all and thank you for your understanding and space.
'Love always, Kelsey, Will and The Parker Family.'
Parker has previously spoken candidly about how trolls have made her feel guilty for having a new partner.
She said in March: 'I'm always going to have guilt but what's so hard is that Tom's not here any more, so what do people want me to do?
'Our house was full of so much sadness but now it's full of happiness, the kids deserve that more than anything.'
Following her husband's death, Parker has raised money for a brain tumour charity by organising annual charity football matches in his memory.
The 34-year-old hosts a podcast with model Georgia Jones called Mum's the Word! where the pair share parenting advice with celebrity guests.

Topics covered include educational support for people with cerebral palsy and other special educational needs, and mental health challenges faced by youngsters, Hundreds of young Big Issue vendors have accessed support from the magazine for issues including health and wellbeing. Big Issue editor Paul McNamee said: 'Big Issue begins with opportunity. We offer young people who are frequently marginalised and on society's edge an opportunity to lift themselves up, both through the Big Issue's own earning and learning opportunities, and by championing their voices and views through our journalism.

At a time when so many young people are facing unprecedented challenges, we need more opportunities for them to be seen, heard, and celebrated.'

Flying Scotsman will appear at the world's largest gathering of historic and modern railway vehicles in August. Train manufacturer Alstom announced that the locomotive will be part of the Greatest Gathering event at its factory in Derby. Up to 30,000 people are expected to attend the event, which runs from August 1-3. An additional 2,500 tickets for each day will be available from 9am on Friday. Flying Scotsman was designed by Sir Nigel Gresley and built in Doncaster. Its achievements include hauling the inaugural non-stop London to Edinburgh train service in 1928, and becoming the UK's first locomotive to reach 100mph six years later. Rob Whyte, managing director at Alstom UK and Ireland, said: 'Flying Scotsman's attendance is a powerful tribute to Britain's steam legacy and a moment of railway history not to be missed. 'While we proudly honour icons of the past, like Flying Scotsman, we also hope the Greatest Gathering will ignite the imagination of tomorrow's engineers, as we showcase the latest sustainable and digital rail innovations across our Derby site.'

This includes the 200-year-old Locomotion No.1, which was the first locomotive to run on the Stockton and Darlington Railway (S&DR) line in north-east England. The Greatest Gathering forms part of Britain's wider Railway 200 festivities. The industry is engaging in a year-long celebration to mark the opening of the S&DR on September 27 1825, which is credited as being the birth of the modern railway.
