Tom Parker's wife Kelsey to share journey since his death in documentary
The Wanted singer died of a brain tumour in March.
Kelsey Parker, widow of The Wanted band member Tom Parker, is set to lead a new documentary series chronicling her experiences with bereavement and grief for ITVBe.
Titled Kelsey Parker: Life After Tom, the six-parter will follow her as she navigates life after her husband's death in March 2022. Tom died of a brain tumour, shortly after The Wanted reunited in September 2021.
"Through Kelsey’s very personal story, she will open the doors to her life and explore bereavement and grief in a way we’ve never seen before, looking at how Kelsey is re-building her life without Tom," ITVBe said in a synopsis for the upcoming series.
Parker will meet with other people who have also experienced loss, including other celebrities, fellow young widows and bereavement experts, all while her family adjusts to life without Tom.
The series is made by the minds behind ITV's award-winning Kate Garraway: Finding Derek, and its follow-up, Caring for Derek.
