BBC to air Tom Parker’s Celebrity Pointless episode
OHMYGOSSIP — The BBC will show Tom Parker’s episode of ‘Celebrity Pointless’ on Saturday (02.04.22).
The late Wanted singer – who died on Wednesday (30.03.22) aged just 33 after battling a brain tumour – had teamed up with bandmate Max George on the popular quiz show, and though their appearance wasn’t due to air until next year, producers have changed the schedules in order to pay tribute to the ‘Chasing The Sun’ hitmaker.
The paid make it through to the final round of the show, aiming to raise money for The Brain Tumour Charity and Brain Research UK, but it is not known if they go on to win.
The move has the support of Tom’s family.
Tom’s wife Kelsey – the mother of his children Aurelia, two, and 18-month-old Bodhi – broke the news of his death on Wednesday afternoon.
She wrote on Instagram: “It is with the heaviest of hearts that we confirm Tom passed away peacefully earlier today with all of his family by his side.
“Our hearts are broken, Tom was the centre of our world and we can’t imagine life without his infectious smile and energetic presence.”
Max and the rest of The Wanted – Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness, and Nathan Sykes – also paid tribute to their “brother”.
They said: “Max, Jay, Siva, Nathan and the whole Wanted family are devastated by the tragic and premature loss of our bandmate Tom Parker, who passed away peacefully at lunchtime today surrounded by his family and his bandmates.
“Tom was an amazing husband to Kelsey, and father to Aurelia and Bodhi.
“He was our brother, words can’t express the loss and sadness we feel. Always and forever in our hearts.”
Tom announced he had been diagnosed with inoperable grade 4 glioblastoma back in October 2020.
