The Wanted’s Tom Parker has become a father for the second time just weeks after revealing he has an inoperable brain tumour, bandmate Max George has revealed.

The 32-year-old, who played Prince Charming in Cinderella at Venue Cymru in 2018, has begun radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the hope of prolonging his life.

Tom and his wife Kelsey Hardwick also have a 15-month-old daughter.

George, who is taking part in Strictly Come Dancing, told ITV’s Lorraine: “I spoke to him yesterday, he’s doing good, he’s doing great.

“Kelsey gave birth to their second child last week. He’s a fighter Tom, Tom will be alright.

“If he’s watching by the way, I love you all.”

Tom revealed earlier this month that he has begun radiotherapy and chemotherapy in the hope of prolonging his life.

He wrote on Instagram: “There’s no easy way to say this but I’ve sadly been diagnosed with a Brain Tumour and I’m already undergoing treatment.

“We decided, after a lot of thought, that rather than hiding away and trying to keep it a secret, we would do one interview where we could lay out all the details and let everyone know the facts in our own way.

“We are all absolutely devastated but we are gonna fight this all the way. We don’t want your sadness, we just want love and positivity and together we will raise awareness of this terrible disease and look for all available treatment options."
