Tom Parker's widow admits 'guilt' as she discusses moving on with new boyfriend
Kelsey Parker has admitted she feels guilty "over a lot of things" as she discusses her new boyfriend.
In November it was reported Kelsey had started dating electrician Sean Boggans, 39, eight months after her husband Tom's tragic death.
After speaking about "moving on", Kelsey has remained silent over reports she's dating the electrician.
But, in a new interview with OK! magazine the mum-of-two, who shares Bodhi and Aurelia with her late husband, has opened up on feeling guilt around her new romance.
When asked if she feels guilty about moving on, Kelsey told the magazine: "I feel guilt about a lot of things, but not in the way I think everyone expects me to feel.

Tom Parker died age 33 a year ago (Instagram/ @being_kelsey)"What I am going through is not something I would wish on anyone – the strength it takes just to get out of bed every single day and stay positive, be Mum and Dad and face my reality."
Kelsey added: "I’ll take all the help I can get in battling through this. Anything that gives me a microsecond of relief from the agonising grief and sense of loss. Not just losing Tom, but losing everything we had built together and believed we were going to share for the rest of our lives. So no, I don’t feel guilt.
"I question if it’s right for me, my kids, my life.
"I question every single thing I’m doing and I feel guilty for just being here. But to ask if I feel guilty would suggest it’s as simple as meeting someone else and moving on and honestly it couldn’t be any further from that, so guilt is the least of my worries."
March 30 will mark a year since Tom died following his brace battle with a terminal brain tumour.
In the lead up to Tom's anniversary, Kelsey admitted it has been the "hardest time" for her.

"Going from February into March was such a hard transition because I knew what was coming this month. It’s been a year since I lost him, but it feels like yesterday. I’ve not really wanted to face this month because it’s the realisation that he’s not been here for a whole year and how much we all miss him."
Earlier this month, Kelsey also faced her first Mother's Day since her husband's death.
Kelsey opened up to fans about raising her two children alone and said it was "one of the hardest things" about Tom's death.

She revealed in a candid Instagram post: "When I first had Rae never would I’ve thought I’d be a solo parent. I was so looking forward to me & Tom being parents, sharing all the highs & lows, growing old together whilst watching our babies grow.

"I couldn’t have done it without the special mums in my life. Thank you for sitting with me, for pulling me through and for all you do for me & the kids. You’ll never know how grateful we are for you all [heart emoji]
"I’m sending love today to anyone doing the job of mum and especially those doing it on their own. I see you; it may be tough but so are you," she ended the post with a heart emoji.
