Kelsey Parker has shared an emotional video montage of the moment she told her friends and family she was pregnant.
The 33-year-old is expecting her first child with boyfriend Will Lindsay, three years after the tragic death of her husband Tom Parker. Kelsey was left a solo mum to their two children, Aurelia,five, and Bodhi, four, after The Wanted star died of brain cancer at just 33.
In the video, which she posted to Instagram, Kelsey can be seen handing a gift box to her loved ones, who are overcome with emotion after opening it and discovering it contains scans of her unborn baby.
She captioned the clip: “Thank you all for the love [heart emoji] we’re overwhelmed with your kind words and support.”

Last week, Kelsey exclusively revealed to The Mirror and OK! magazine that she was to become a mum again, and explained she believes Tom has given them his "blessing" and that she had wanted more children with the singer.
"Tom and I always said we wanted four – but life had other plans,” Kelsey said. “So yes, this is amazing but also bittersweet. The joys of finding out I’m pregnant and moving forward with my life, while thinking, ‘My life could have been so different.’
"I’ve felt every emotion under the sun. I’m still getting my head around it but I’m so excited. And I know I’m putting myself out there, telling people. I just want everyone to be as happy as I am."

One of the kind comments read: “I’m crying but they are not my tears, Tom sent you all, including your Mr a Little something special because you & his babies needed some love & joy. Which also means he's approving of another love can't wait to watch this next stage for you all."
Another wrote: “Not me sobbing watching this every person who has ever lost somebody they loved has probably felt that devastating pain and thought how do I go on. You are proof that you will one day have something to smile about again I'm so glad you and your little family have got this new happy future x.”
Kelsey found love again last year quite by chance, meeting Will, 27, on a night out and going public with their romance last September. The mum-of-two, who is due in June, described her third pregnancy as a “happy accident” and opened up on the moment she and her partner saw the positive line on the pregnancy test.

PA)“It was October 21st, the day after Will’s birthday. He shares a birthday with Bodhi. I was shocked but so happy. Will cried his eyes out!” Tree surgeon Will couldn’t be more chuffed. “I’m over the moon,” he said. “This is something I’ve wanted for a long time. I couldn’t be happier and I know Kelsey is going to be an amazing mum, as she already is.”
Kelsey said telling her late husband Tom’s family was deeply emotional moment. “Tom’s mum Noreen gave me her blessing instantly. She can’t wait to have another grandchild. All I care about is that both our families and Tom’s family are happy.
"Noreen is the most amazing lady. After Tom passed, she said to me, ‘As long as you’re happy Kels, whatever you do, we will always support you and be happy for you.’ We’ve all been through so much together. But I’m here and bringing another baby into the world.”
