Pregnant Kelsey Parker shows off her growing baby bump in glowing snaps as she soaks up the Bank Holiday weekend sun
Kelsey Parker is nearing the end of her pregnancy and she proudly showed off her bump in glowing new snaps over the bank holiday weekend. The widow of late The Wanted star Tom Parker was bathing in the rays in her back garden in a series of photos she posted on social media. Relaxing in a hot tub, 34-year-old Kelsey looked ecstatic as she posed for multiple pictures, cradling her stomach. She slipped her bump into a classy black one-piece, accessorising with some sunglasses. Mum-of-two Kelsey - who shares Aurelia, five, and Bodhi, four, with Tom - captioned her photos: 'Soaking up the sun this Bank Holiday weekend and clearly very happy about it ☀️ Wearing — honestly the best pregnancy swimwear ever!!' Kelsey is the widow of Tom, who tragically died from brain cancer in 2022, at the age of just 33. The Sun revealed last year that Kelsey had found love with tree surgeon Will Lindsay, two years after Tom's death. Ahead of welcoming her and Will's baby, she revealed she has been getting a lot of hate online but her new partner has been very supportive and told her to 'block out the haters'. Speaking on ITV's Lorraine, in their first joint interview together, Kelsey explained: 'It's been three years, this is Tom's three year anniversary of his death and it's almost like people want me to feel guilty for moving on.' Kelsey was devastated after husband Tom lost his battle with brain cancer aged just 33, four years after they tied the knot. She found love again last year, meeting Kent tree surgeon Will on a night out. They announced their romance last September and Kelsey, who is due in June, previously revealed her third pregnancy was a 'happy accident'. Speaking on the ITV daytime show to mark Lorraine's March4March mental health initiative, The Mirror report that Kelsey asked Will: 'Does it stress you out that I get upset about trolls and people commenting on our relationship?' Will replied: 'Not really, I just tell you not to look at them don't I. There's bound to be some people sending nice messages but block out the haters.' She added: 'I'm always going to have guilt but what's so hard is that Tom's not here anymore 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. 'They've been through so much, I feel like we are taking the steps forward to heal but I just want other women to feel like it's OK to move on, it's not taking anything away from the love I had for Tom.' Kelsey also opened up about the impact meeting Will has had on her life and how trolls don't 'understand how she feels' because they are not in her shoes. She started dating tree surgeon Lindsay last year, and told how her partner lives with her at the home she shared with Tom and the kids, remarking how he 'gradually moved in' when the time 'felt right'. The couple stated that they didn't have a preference about the baby's sex and were currently 'undecided' about whether they wanted to know - as the answer is waiting for them in an email.

I have two children (and another one on the way) that I have to get out of bed for. People are shocked I go to Tesco but I need to feed my kids.' Kelsey was devastated after husband Tom lost his battle with brain cancer aged just 33, four years after they exchanged vows. But she admits she must look forward and establish a future for herself and their children after coming to terms with the fact that he is gone.

Liam Payne's Girlfriend Opens Up About Grief In Emotional TV Interview
Kate Cassidy admits it's still 'really hard to accept' the loss of her boyfriend, former One Direction singer Liam Payne, more than four months after his death. Cassidy became visibly emotional Wednesday while discussing Payne during an appearance on the British morning show 'Lorraine.' 'I find myself talking about him so much in the present tense,' she said. 'I don't even feel the need to correct myself because that's part of my healing journey. I'm still working on accepting the fact that he's not here anymore, so it's hard for me to refer to him in the past tense.' 'When I do refer to him in the past tense, it almost stings that little bit more,' she continued. Watch Kate Cassidy's interview on 'Lorraine' below. Payne was found dead Oct. 16 after falling from the third-floor balcony of a hotel in the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was 31. A toxicology report found that the pop singer had multiple substances in his system at the time of his death, including cocaine, crack cocaine and benzodiazepine. In December, Argentine authorities indicted five people ― including three employees at the hotel where Payne had been staying ― in connection with the singer's death. Cassidy had been by Payne's side at the start of his Argentina visit. On Oct. 2, the two were spotted at Layne's former One Direction bandmate Niall Horan's concert at Buenos Aires' Movistar Arena. Just days before Payne's death, Cassidy confirmed on social media that she'd returned to the U.S. while he stayed behind in Argentina. Elsewhere in her 'Lorraine' interview, Cassidy said she was finding solace in her dog, Nala, whom she had shared with Payne. 'I have my better days, I have my harder days,' she said. 'But I'm surrounded by such a great support system that I cannot thank enough, and having Nala around as well, obviously, again has helped me so much with my healing journey.' Cassidy's 'Lorraine' appearance was meant to promote March4March, a mental health advocacy campaign. In her interview, she said her decision to take part in the campaign was, in part, intended as a tribute to Payne. 'I generally believe Liam, in a way, guided me to this campaign and wanted me to get involved in this and to help other people,' she said. 'It's something he would've wanted me to do.' If you or someone you know needs help, call or text 988 or chat for mental health support.

Liam Payne's girlfriend Kate Cassidy tearfully opens up about grief in first TV interview
Watch: Liam Payne's girlfriend Kate Cassidy breaks down in tears as she opens up on grief Kate Cassidy has broken down in tears during her first TV interview since Liam Payne's death, admitting she still can't bring herself to talk about him in the past tense. The girlfriend of the late One Direction star Liam Payne spoke to ITV's Lorraine to launch the show's March4March mental health and exercise campaign on Wednesday morning and shared that taking their dog for walks was what made her get out of bed each day. Cassidy had been in a relationship with Payne since 2022 and had travelled to Argentina with him, but had left him in Buenos Aires just days before his death to travel back to their shared home in the US as she needed to look after their dog. Payne died on 16 October aged 31 after a fall from his hotel room balcony. Cassidy was amongst the mourners at his funeral in Buckinghamshire in November, along with his family, Cheryl Tweedy who Payne shared son Bear with, his former bandmates Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson, and One Direction manager Simon Cowell. In her first TV interview since Payne's death, influencer Cassidy became tearful as she told Lorraine Kelly: "I find myself talking about him so much in the present tense. I don't feel the need to correct myself because that's part of my healing journey, I'm still working on accepting the fact that he's not here any more. "When I do refer to him in the past tense it stings that little bit more because it's more official. I never thought I would be talking about him in the past tense so it's definitely really hard to accept." Cassidy, who has previously spoken about how she and Payne had planned to marry, added of how she was doing: "I am trying to do my best, I have my better days, I have my harder days."

"I've always enjoyed walking," she said of taking dog Nala out each day. "Now I'm going through this healing journey, sometimes it's hard for me to get out of bed in the morning and it's something that I don't want to do, but I have this responsibility and this obligation (to the dog), I have no choice, I have to get out of bed. It wakes me up and refreshes my mind instead of laying in bed all day scrolling through social media or old photos. It gets me out of bed and helps my mindset and my mental health." She also said that Payne had taught her how to deal with trolling during their relationship, which she has drawn on since his death after receiving some cruel comments online: "He's guided me so much, he taught me to have thick skin and to never let anyone's opinion get to taught me how to stay strong." Cassidy added of grieving: "It is really hard. I've never lost anybody close to me before so this is my first time going through grief and a healing journey." She added of his fans: "I know I'm not alone in this... so many others are grieving all over the world." "I'll always have so much love for him, he was really one of a kind, he would light up any room he walked into," she continued. "He had this sense of humour where he could really make anything better. His presence was comforting and warming and that's something I'll never forget about him, ever." In the wake of Payne's death, some other former X Factor stars spoke out about the huge pressure sudden fame had put them under, as did boy band stars including Blue and singer Lulu. Lorraine's March4March campaign aims to support viewers through mental health struggles by encouraging them to get exercise to lift their mood. Other celebrities set to open up while walking and talking for the campaign include Pete Wicks, Tyler West, Vicky Pattison, Vogue Williams and Ellie Simmonds. Cassidy said she had been drawn to support the campaign as it was called March4March: "The number four is me and Liam's angel number which symbolises support from angels. I genuinely believe Liam guided me to this campaign and it's something he wanted me to do. Every time I see the number four I know he's there with me." She added: "Anybody should not be afraid to speak out. Liam was so open about his mental health and I know he would want me to help anybody because he is no longer able to help people." Kelly said: "I'm so pleased we are launching a campaign dedicated to destigmatising the conversation around mental health and I'm so grateful to the amazing names who've already agreed to bravely share their stories and pledge their support for such a worthy cause. I'm looking forward to getting out walking and talking and I look forward to taking our amazing viewers along with me." In February, Cassidy gave an interview to The Sun where she opened up on the circumstances surrounding her leaving Argentina to travel back home to the US, and shared the last text she had sent Payne. She explained that she had left Payne in Buenos Aires as she had to get home to look after their dog and said: "Obviously if I knew, if I could see into the future, I would never have left Argentina." Cassidy, who said she had thought she and Payne were "soulmates" as soon as she met him, added: "It was a tragic accident and no, I never did think [he might die young]. But, you know, we did have our own separate lives – this wasn't the first time we have travelled separately. I just never thought this would have happened, that it would turn out the way it did." "We were in such a great place, just full of love; he was so happy and positive. And I just can't even believe the way things truly ended," she said. Talking about the last message that she had sent Payne, she shared that she had written: "I can't wait for you to get home and see the house," which she had decorated for Halloween. Cassidy also admitted that she would still call Payne's phone to hear his voicemail message. Following Payne's death, Cassidy had posted on social media: "Thank you for all of the kind words and love that has been sent my way. I have been at a complete loss. Nothing about the past few days have felt real. I ask and pray that you'll give me the grace and space to navigate this in private. "Liam, my angel. You are everything. I want you to know I loved you unconditionally and completely. I will continue to love you for the rest of my life. I love you Liam."
