Revealing the details about the documentary to Instagram, Kelsey wrote, “I am delighted to share with you that Kelsey Parker: Life After Tom will be on your screens later this year on @itv. A six part documentary following me and my family over the last six months since Tom’s death”.
“Obviously a very difficult film to make but one that I’m incredibly proud of. We are still in the middle of filming and it’s been a roller coaster ride but I can’t thank the team @flickerproductions enough for believing in me to share my story, to continue Tom’s work and cement his legacy and to hopefully help others”.
She added, “I have met and am meeting the most incredible people who have loved, lost and who are fighting to keep their loved ones here. I’m learning about myself, pushing myself and I’m sharing it all with my amazing family and friends who are there with me every step of the way”.
“Tom called us the #PositiveParkers and I really hope our optimism shines through because life is for living and we’re here, we’re doing it and I just want to keep moving forward”.
The mum-of-two closed off by saying, “Tom, this is for you and I hope it’s making you shine up there”.
