The Sun has been to Tom's rep for comment.
In 2022, Tom heartbreakingly lost his fiancee Dani Hampson aged 34 on the morning of what should have been their wedding.
In a devastating post, he revealed at the time: 'I can't believe I am writing these words but my darling Dani - my best friend, my everything and more, the love of my life - passed away in the early hours of Saturday morning, 18th June.

"I feel like I have cried an ocean. We never made it to the alter; or got to say our vows, or dance our first dance, but I know you know that you were my entire world and the best thing that has ever happened to me, Danielle.
"I will wear this ring that I was always supposed to wear as a sign of my unconditional love to you.'
He continued, saying how he planned to raise their son alone in her memory: 'I am completely broken trying to process this and I honestly don't know where to go from here, but I do know I need to use any strength I can muster for our little boy.

'I will not be a mark on the parent that you had already become but I promise I will do my everything to raise Bowie just the way we always wanted. I promise you he will know how amazing his mummy was. I promise to make you so so proud.
'The most beautiful person inside and out. The most incredible soul. We have lost such a special person and I am sure we are about to see an abundant outpouring of love that reflects that. I will try to find peace in your messages and comments, but right now I am grieving and I will be for a very, very long time.'
Tom added: 'My darling Dani, the brightest light in any room, my world is nothing but darkness without you. I will miss you forever.'
Tom auditioned for the X Factor as a solo artist but was put in the group, which made it to the final of X Factor in 2014.

EXCLUSIVE Loose Women to AXE vital part of the show which viewers love in desperate bid to save cash as ITV budget cuts rage on
Loose Women will axe a vital part of the show which viewers love in a desperate bid to save money as ITV 's budget cuts rage on. MailOnline can reveal the series are scrapping their live studio audience when the programme airs with a reduced schedule of just 30 episodes next year. The change is a further blow to the panellists which include Ruth Langsford, 65, Kaye Adams, 62, Nadia Sawalha, 60, and Charlene White, 44, who rely on the reactions of the audience to create a lively atmosphere. Bosses have got rid of the studio audience to save costs, with insiders revealing that it's an expensive feature due to being managed by an external company, who also provides security and a warmup person, but for the presenters, it's going to be a 'disaster.' It comes after ITV announced dramatic budget cuts to their daytime schedule from halving Lorraine to 30 minutes and only airing the show during school term times to cutting Loose Women's output to 30 weeks a year. And sources have told MailOnline how key talent on Loose Women are 'upset' to see the live studio audience go because it's what sets the season apart from Lorraine and Good Morning Britain amid fears viewers will 'switch off' altogether. MailOnline can reveal the series are scrapping their live studio audience when the programme airs with a reduced schedule of just 30 episodes next year A TV source told MailOnline: 'The panelists are really upset over the decision to axe the live studio audience from the show. 'It's what sets the series apart from the rest of ITV daytime and now there are massive concerns that viewers will switch off completely. 'The only concern now is to cut costs and having a live studio audience can be expensive, with the added need for security and a warmup artist. 'Presenters already know how it feels to broadcast the show without an audience because that's what happened during the pandemic, and they all know it creates low mood and lack of atmosphere.' MailOnline revealed it isn't just Lorraine and Loose Women who are experiencing budget cuts and job losses following ITV's recent announcement about merging their daytime shows. This Morning are also suffering from cutbacks behind the scenes with presenters like Alison Hammond told they will no longer fly overseas for A-list interviews, as well as scrapping live outside broadcasts like from their TV forest. It comes as panelist Nadia spoke about the 'brutal' cuts to Loose Women as she explained how tough the announcement had been for staff. She said: 'This show has been highly successful for 25 years, more actually now, it is such a clear brand... 'The brutality of the world... what a lot of people don't realise is that we're self-employed, every contract is a new contract, I could be let go tomorrow or in five years, we're not employees. 'What's been absolutely brutal over the last week and honestly, I feel tearful about it is that hundreds of people are going to be made redundant out of the blue, these are people behind the scenes, that support us in every way. 'It's the way of the world, inflation is insane, cuts have to be made... a lot of my friends and colleagues on this show and at ITV have been there for decades, and I can't tell you how upsetting it was to see people walking around numb with shock and fear about what they were going to do.' Last month, it was confirmed that Lorraine, This Morning, and Loose Women will relocate from Television Centre to a new filming location, where they plan to share the same studio.

Executive producer Mike Spencer revealed the surprising change following an exclusive villa tour. He said: "If sex happens we'll show it. The Hideaway will be open 24 hours." This season promises unblinking cameras and unabashed action. Mike continued: "We need to keep the show fresh and exciting. After 10 years the stats speak for themselves. The show will continue to thrive. We, the producers, need to stay ahead of the curve. The whole 'twists and turns' thing is about making the show fresh. We're going to give it all we've got." Returning host Maya Jama brings her trademark flair and fierce attitude, adding: "I feel like they forgot last year that you could come in The Hideaway at any time. We did tell them but they kept forgetting." That's unlikely to be overlooked this time around. Megan Moore, 25, from Southampton (Image: Instagram @ ) Show contestant Megan Moore, a 25-year-old payroll specialist from Southampton, shared her thoughts with The Mirror about the change.

If I'm not in a confident place it's a me problem – not his. "I've gone over eight months celibate now, I was two years celibate before, and I'm proud of that. I only want to have sex when I truly want to – not out of pressure."
