“The last few months have been massively up and down. But I get up and get on with it for my kids. I’ve got to continue and I have to actually pave something for them. I am the mum now so that’s it,” she said.
She continued: “They have lost their dad so they need me to be as strong as possible for them at the moment. I think people are like: ‘Wow, I can’t believe she is actually dealing with it,’ but I don’t really have any other choice but to deal with it.”
‘He’s dead and he’s not coming back’
Kelsey recently revealed how she’s explained to Aurelia that her dad had died.
She told Lorraine Kelly on her morning TV show: “I’ve been really honest but still every day she talks about him and she doesn’t quite understand that he’s not coming back.
“I’ve been really blunt and said he’s not coming back, that’s it, he’s dead and he’s not coming back. But she doesn’t really understand.”
