Pregnant Kelsey Parker's daughter chooses baby name - with tribute to dad Tom
EXCLUSIVE: Kelsey Parker, who is pregnant with her third child, has opened up about the moment she told her two children she was expecting a baby with her boyfriend Will Lindsay
Kelsey Parker, who has exclusively shared that she's expecting a baby with her tree surgeon boyfriend Will Lindsay, has revealed how she broke the news to her two children - five year old Aurelia and four year old Bodhi - about their upcoming sibling. The TV star, who tragically lost her husband, The Wanted singer Tom Parker, to brain cancer three years ago at the age of 33, described the announcement to her kids as a 'special' moment.
They even captured it on video to cherish forever. "We filmed it to keep," she said. "They were so happy. I think they'll be amazing big siblings. Bodhi's always been the baby though, so that might be hard for him at the start! " Kelsey, who found love again last year with Kent-born Will, 27, and made their relationship public last September, believes her daughter may have had a premonition about the pregnancy before the thrilled parents-to-be broke the news.

"I feel like Aurelia's been in this world before. And when I was eight weeks pregnant, she came up and started talking to a baby in my tummy. Will and I just looked at each other in disbelief! She has also said she'd like the baby to be called Parker if it's a boy!"
The kids in the household are over the moon about the prospect of a new sibling; they've been asking for a brother or sister for ages. "Both of them had been going on and on for ages about wanting a brother or sister. So when Will came along, they were like, 'Can you have a baby now?' They're so funny."
The couple's daughter Aurelia, already set on her mum having a girl, is yet to know if she'll be getting a sister or not as the couple haven't checked the baby's gender, but she has some strong opinions about names – insisting that if it’s a boy, he shall be named 'Parker!'

Kelsey – candidly referring to her third pregnancy as a "happy accident" – is set to welcome the new addition in June. She shares a touching memory of discovering the surprise with her soft-spoken partner, noting the lines on the pregnancy test will always be an indelible moment for them.
"It was last October 21st, the day after Will's birthday. He shares a birthday with Bodhi. I was shocked but so happy. Will cried his eyes out!" Will himself couldn't be more delighted. "I'm over the moon," he acknowledges. "This is something I've wanted for a long time. I couldn't be happier and I know Kelsey is going to be an amazing mum, as she already is."
