Kelsey told The publication: "However, I also vowed til death us do part. He has died. It sounds harsh but I’ve got to accept no matter how much I wish it was different, he's not coming back.

She stated that she did everything necessary to care for him during his illness. If he had asked her to follow any specific action to aid his condition, she would have done it.

"He was my life, my partner and my soulmate but that's not happened for me. While it’s been difficult for me, it’s horrible for Will too. This is his first child and he’s preparing to be a dad. I’ve already had this experience. I feel like people are taking the excitement away from Will," she added.

Kelsey announced that she and her partner Will were expecting their first child together last month. Speaking previously about her pregnancy, Kelsey told the Mirror: "Tom and I always said we wanted four – but life had other plans. 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."
