The mother-of-two told the Loose Women panel that she learned about Tom’s diagnosis when she was 35 weeks pregnant with her son Bodhi, and her sole focus at the time was figuring out how to move forward with the devastating prognosis.
Last month Tom revealed he’d been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour, and despite the sad news he and Kelsey have vowed to fight and raise awareness for the disease.
Kelsey told the panel: ‘I just feel so bad for Bodhi because literally I forgot I was pregnant, I just had this bump and carried on each day thinking ”how are we gonna get Tom through this how are we gonna get to the next stage?’

Since Tom announced his brain tumour diagnosis, he and Kelsey, who are also parents to daughter Aurelia, 16 months, have welcomed their baby son.
She explained that they chose the name as a symbol of hope that Tom can fight his diagnosis.
Fighting back tears as she watched an Instagram clip of her two children, Kelsey said: ‘Bodhi means enlightenment and I just think with this situation he’s going to be the light at the end of our tunnel.’
Kelsey also reflected on the moment she saw Tom suffer a seizure in July, weeks before his tumour was finally diagnosed.
She said: ‘We believe Tom had a seizure in July, but I wasn’t actually around, he rang me and said ”I really don’t feel well Kels” and for six weeks we didn’t know he’d had a seizure.

‘We went on holiday, me and my daughter were talking, Tom was in bed he said ‘I feel really hot my hands were shaking” and then he had a seizure. It was traumatic for everyone.’

She also admitted that she pushed for Tom to publicly reveal his health battle to raise awareness, and has been overwhelmed with the support they’ve received.
‘As a family it was a process to go public with it. From day dot I wanted to go public wit hit, for me a problem shared is a problem halved, and since going public, the amount of support we’ve received as said it all,’ she said.
‘Our lives are in the public eye for us as a family it was the best thing but don’t get wrong it was a really hard decision to make.’

She added that Tom’s difficult ordeal has also helped him reconnect with his bandmates from The Wanted, as they’ve been in constant touch offering their support.
Kelsey told the panel: ‘The four boys have been absolutely amazing. He speaks to them every week.
‘Steve lives in America but he’s always calling. It’s been really good for him to reconnect as well through this.’

The Loose Women panel were quick to praise Kelsey for her maintaining a positive outlook amid Tom’s tumour battle, after she revealed they decided against learning his life expectancy.
She explained: ‘For my kids. for Tom, for my family I think in this situation it’s a really and horrendous situation, but I think staying positive is the only way to get through this.
‘I am a super positive person and that’s what so hard is in the situation, cos people are looking at me going ”how on earth does she get out of bed in the morning?” but it’s the only way to get through this.
They go way back: She added that Tom’s difficult ordeal has also helped him reconnect with his bandmates from The Wanted (pictured in 2013)
‘I always talk about positive energy and with this situation it’s the only thing that can get me through each day.’
‘I’ve got an amazing family who live round the corner, I have had days where I’ve had to call my mum and say ”can you come and pick my daughter up?” I’m just sat on the sofa crying.
‘But I have to get out of bed, make sure Tom gets to chemo takes his medication.’
Kelsey added that Tom’s currently on a break between his first and second rounds of chemotherapy treatment, and while he’s still going to physiotherapy daily she’s put him on a strict diet to help boost his chances.

The All Time Low hitmaker and the actress said: ‘We were going, ”You k**bhead!” I texted him saying, ”You’ve got a big mouth!”’
The parents-of-two expressed their delight at growing their family as they added to the publication: ‘He is the perfect baby – especially compared to having Aurelia first. I barely even know I’ve got him.
‘He’s so chilled. He’s so different to Aurelia – she was always very active. Bodhi means enlightenment. So it just goes perfectly with our situation right now. He’s the light at the end of our tunnel.’
On October 12, Tom announced he has grade four glioblastoma, with the Bolton native undergoing radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatment in a bid to prolong his life.
Life expectancy for this illness ranges from three months to 18 months after diagnosis, but the couple have not asked to hear Tom’s prognosis amid fears he would ‘sit and count down the days and not live his life’.
