What did Kelsey say about Tom Parker and his cancer battle?

At the time, Kelsey explained how they found out about Tom’s cancer when she was pregnant with their second child, Bodhi.

She revealed that when she first had Bodhi, Tom tried to be there, but due to his cancer, he didn’t have the energy to be as full-on as he wanted to be.

“It was tough as he was utterly drained and used to say to me, ‘I can’t be their dad and I just want to be a dad’. It really upset him. He’s determined to see them grow up. We have never talked about the prospect of him dying — we just can’t go there,” she said at the time.
