Kelsey Parker, the widow of The Wanted star Tom Parker, has had more heartbreak as she announced her beloved grandfather has passed away just weeks before the end of a tragic year for the mum-of-two.
Taking to Instagram, the actress and documentarian shared the tragic news, posting some photos of her grandfather.

"He was like a Dad to me and raised me and my brother Sammy as his own. He set us on the right path with his knowledge of life and I am forever grateful to him.
She continued: "The funniest, wittiest, caring man known. He was so proud of his family. A dedicated family man who was always there when you needed him.
"My Grandad had the most infectious laugh and it makes me smile when I think of it now. My babies adored their Great Grandad Peter and he adored them.
"Grandad, thank you for being you and being my biggest supporter ever. I will miss your stories, your lectures on life, your cycling stories and your pure wind up self!
"I know you’re up there now with Tom and your boy Neil having a glass of red. This isn’t goodbye, just good night. Ta lah."

Further opening up about the guilt she feels, Kelsey said: “There's massive, there's so much guilt. And that's what is a thing through the show that I've just got a lot of guilt for. I know that I did everything for Tom. But I don't know even still there is just that guilt process of I've lost him.”
“I look at my kids every morning. And I'm like, I'm guilty, that he's not experiencing what I'm experiencing with them.
