Tom Parker’s wife Kelsey Hardwick has shared a heartbreaking post in which she spoke about her late partner visiting their daughter.

The widow of The Wanted star, who sadly died at the age of 33 from a brain tumour, took to social media to share a picture of their daughter Aurelia dressed in pink.

In the picture, two-year-old Aurelia gazed at a white feather that she gently held in her hand.

Alongside the post, the mum penned the heartbreaking message: “Daddy came to see us at work”.

Tributes have continued to pour in after Parker’s family confirmed that the pop star had sadly died on March 30.

Thursday, Hardwick confirmed the family would also be holding a private memorial for the singer and asked supporters to join them at Petts Wood and line the route to the church.

The mum-of-two also encouraged his fans to also join them outside of the church where the ceremony will be relayed on screens.

She messaged: “Thomas Anthony Parker. There will be a private celebration of life on Wednesday 20 April. We know many of you would like to pay your respects as well, so would love for you to join us in Petts Wood at 10 am.

“It would be beautiful to have everyone line the route as we head to our private service. You are then welcome to join us outside the church for the duration where the service will be relayed on screens. Love Kelsey.”

Parker was diagnosed with a brain tumour in October 2020 when his wife was pregnant with their second child Bodhi.

The singer bravely battled terminal cancer and even returned to the stage with The Wanted before his death.

After his death, Hardwick has set up a Go Fund Me page and asked for supporters to make donations that will eventually go to charities and help other families.

So far the page has raised an impressive £52,198.

Addressing the amazing fundraising effort, Hardwick wrote on Thursday: “The last 2 weeks since Tom left us have obviously been very difficult but my family, friends and myself have continued to bring positivity into everything we do and will make sure that we celebrate everything amazing about Tom next week.”

She added: “Reading all the heartwarming messages from everyone has really shone a light on just what a legend my Tom is and has highlighted just how many amazing goals he achieved in life and especially in the last 18 months.”
