Kelsey said: "I just met him authentically when I was out, which is what I always wanted to do.
"I was just out with my friends, and we met, and it’s really nice. I’m so happy."
When asked who met the first move, she added: "I think it was a mutual feeling between us.
"I don’t know, it was just very [unexpected].
"Obviously I wasn’t expecting to find anyone, and he’s literally just swept me off my feet.
Kelsey also believes that Tom sent him to her.
"I definitely think he’s very special and I do feel like Tom had a little sprinkle of magic in me meeting him," she confessed.

"I don’t know, it’s just everything about him," she added.
"He’s so lovely, caring and kind.

"He is also a massive pillar of strength for me."

Before his death he was undergoing treatment in Spain and also managed to perform on stage with the rest of his bandmates.
