Tom Parker’s wife Kelsey lands six figure book deal on grief to ‘help other widows’ a year after his death

TOM Parker's widow Kelsey has landed a six-figure book deal on how to deal with grief - one year after the singer's death.

The mother of two, 32, who sadly lost Tom to cancer last March, hopes that penning her journey as a widow will help those who find themselves in the same position.

A source exclusively told The Sun: "It’s a huge deal worth six figures but Kelsey wrote it for other people in her position - it’ll chart her life after losing Tom. "

The source added: "She’ll be opening up about the dark times she’s faced, her struggles and the guilt she felt meeting someone new. She wants it to be able to help others who have lost a partner at a young age."

Kelsey faced a backlash after it was revealed that she had found love again with builder Sean Boggans, eight months after losing the father of her two children. The couple have since split.

But at the time Kelsey insisted that The Wanted singer would have encouraged her to find love again.

During the filming of her her reality TV show, she visited a widow's group at a local pub and was asked the question of moving on.

She replied: "We didn't really have those conversations but, knowing Tom, I feel like he would be happy for me. He'd just want me to be happy. And I'm so young."

And on of the widows assured her that Tom would want her to "live a full life."

The Sun has contacted a representative for a comment.
