Tom Parker’s widow, Kelsey Hardwick, “beyond pride” as her memoir tops the bestseller list

Tom Parker’s widow Kelsey said she was “beyond proud” after her book became a bestseller.

The Wanted star’s memoir, titled Hope: My Inspirational Life, tops the Sunday Times bestseller list.

Kelsey crossed the line by sharing snaps from the book and the late singer, who died in March at age 33 after battling an inoperable brain tumor, on Instagram.

“My husband … a Sunday Times # 1 bestselling author,” she wrote.

“More than proud of my love. What I would not give to celebrate once again with you @tompkerofficial.

“I would have liked the 4 day weekend and an excuse to celebrate that weekend.”

“I miss you every second of every day,” added Kelsey, who has two young children with the late star.

Fans and friends posted congratulatory messages in the comments section after Kelsey shared the news.

“Awwww, so happy for all of you, I send you the biggest hug xxxx,” said Nadia Sawalha of Loose Women.

“Yes, he did,” said actress Martine McCutcheon.

Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh said it was “surprising” news.

Tom learned in 2020 that he has grade four glioblastoma and said he is determined to beat the odds.

Kelsey announced in March that she died peacefully with her entire family by her side.

“Our hearts are broken, Tom was the center of our world and we can’t imagine life without his infectious smile and energetic presence,” she wrote on Instagram at the time.

“We are truly grateful for the outpouring of love and support and we ask that you all join together to ensure that Tom’s light continues to shine for his beautiful children.

“Thanks to everyone who supported him at all times, he fought to the end.

“I’m always proud of you.”
