Kelsey told the panel that she had to walk a fine line of keeping things normal for her little ones, as well as trying to honour their father.
“Obviously, it’s not normal for them,” she said. “Now Aurelia does ask me like why her best friend has got a dad and she’s not got a dad.
“I’m getting those questions already. I know those questions are going to progress and they’re going to turn into different questions.
“It’s just really difficult being a solo parent.”

Kelsey continued that she has found being honest, even at this early stage, the best way to navigate thornier subjects.

Kelsey had dated Tom for 13 years, with the pair marrying in 2018.

Shortly after Tom’s death, she explained her friend bought two Build A Bear teddies. One played one of Tom’s hits, while the other had his favourite song.
“And at night, sometimes the bear with Tom’s song inside it will just start to play,” Kelsey told The Sun. “It is like, ‘Oh my God.'”
