Wanted star Tom Parker has shared the devastating news that he has been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.
The father of one, 32, says his tumor is inoperable.
He said OK! Magazine: “I’m still in complete shock, it’s a lot to take in.”
His wife Kelsey, with whom he shares their 16-month-old daughter Aurelia, added: “It’s been a crazy six weeks. We had a clue that something was wrong in July, but we never would have imagined it would be.”
Tom, who said his diagnosis didn’t seem real, added: “I knew something was wrong, but I never expected it to be. You will never think this will happen to you.”
Tom, who is expecting his second child with Kelsey, took to Instagram this morning to share the tragic news with his fans.
Sharing a sweet photo of himself with his wife and young daughter, he wrote: “Hey guys, you know we’ve both been quiet on social media for a few weeks and it’s time to tell you why.
“There is no easy way to say this, but unfortunately I was diagnosed with a brain tumor and I am already in treatment. After thinking a lot, we decided that instead of hiding and trying to keep it a secret, I would do an interview where we could expose all the details and letting everyone know the facts our way.
“We are all absolutely devastated, but we will fight this to the end. We do not want your sadness, we only want love and positivity and together we will raise awareness about this terrible disease and seek all available treatment options. It will be a tough battle, but with love. and everyone’s support we are going to beat this. Tom and Kelsey xxx “

I was awash with support.
James ‘Arg’ Argent told him, “We love you Tom! We have this brother, no question!”
Rebecca Adlington commented: “Sending so much love and support always xxx”
Tom’s fans were also quick to tell him how strong he is and how confident they are that he can beat the tumor.

Tom had last posted to Instagram in August, but his absence now makes sense to his devastated fans.
The singer married Kelsey in 2018, when they said ‘I do’ at a romantic ceremony at Ridge Farm in Surrey.
His fellow boy band members Jay McGuinness and Max George acted as his ushers.
Tom and Kelsey welcomed their first daughter, Aurelia, 16 months ago.
They announced in May that they were expecting their second baby together.
