GMB hosts pay tribute to Tom Parker

Ben Shephard and Susanna Reid paid tribute to Parker on Good Morning Britain earlier today.

Shephard, 47, said: “You could see he was so full of energy and fun and I think that the band getting back together was very much centred around his illness and his diagnosis and they were still making plans for what was going to happen.

“It was so lovely to have him with them and them all together.”

Reid, 51, added: “It was very noticeable how much they cared for him behind the scenes as well. Even though he still had lots of energy, and he was smiling and laughing, they really had that arm around him the whole time, that they were there.

“We are so sad about this, Tom, tragically young, 33 years old, incredibly cruel what has happened to him.

“We send our love to the band, to the team around them, and especially to Kelsey and the children.”
