On telling her children about Tom’s death, Kelsey said on Loose Women: “I’ve been really, really honest. I’ve taken advice.

“I did say to her he wouldn’t be coming home from the hospice.
“On the Wednesday, when he did actually die, in the morning I was leaving to go to the hospice and I just said to her, ‘I’ve got to go to make sure the angels come and take daddy. The angels are going to collect him.’
“Which is a really hard conversation. The next day I woke up and I had to tell her her dad’s dead.
“This is the advice I got – to be honest. I said, ‘Dad’s dead and he’s not coming back.’ So she’s still trying to digest that.”
Kelsey also revealed Aurelia asks whether he’s coming back.
She said: “When she gets with my mum she’ll be like to my mum, ‘So is daddy actually not coming back?'”
