Television presenter Lorraine Kelly offered heartfelt support to Kelsey Parker during her morning programme on Monday, following the devastating news of Parker’s stillbirth. The 34-year-old mother announced on Instagram yesterday that her third child, Phoenix, was “born sleeping” just one week before her expected due date.
Parker shared the heartbreaking news through social media, using the phrase “born sleeping” to describe the loss of her baby son. The tragedy occurred just seven days before Parker’s due date, adding to the profound sadness of the situation.
Kelly addressed the tragedy on her show, describing it as a sad news for viewers and mentioning that Parker had been a frequent guest on the programme. She quoted Parker’s words about the loss, saying “He was born sleeping,” just a week before her due date.
The Scottish broadcaster’s emotional tribute served as both a public acknowledgement of the loss and a personal message to someone who had been a recurring guest on her show. Kelly concluded her on-air tribute with a deeply personal message of support for the grieving family, stating that she knew how much Parker was looking forward to welcoming her third child.
The news comes as a tragic blow to Parker, who is the widow of The Wanted singer Tom Parker, who died from brain cancer in 2022 at the age of 33. Parker posted a moving tribute featuring a poem titled “For Phoenix, Born Sleeping, Forever Loved”, which expressed her love and grief for her son.
Parker’s family has requested privacy during this difficult time. Kelly’s emotional tribute served as a public acknowledgement of the loss and a personal message of support to the grieving family.
