Singer Tom Parker, best-known as part of the band The Wanted, has announced he is expecting his first child with wife Kelsey Hardwick.

Today (14 February) The Wanted’s Tom Parker announced that he and his wife Kelsey Hardwick had some exciting baby news on YouTube – much to the delight of his fans!

This will be the couple’s first child together and will certainly make 2019 an extra special year for them.

Last July Tom and Kelsey tied the knot in the grounds of Ridge Farm, Surrey in what he described as ‘the best day of [their] lives’.

And now, a year on, the couple will be welcoming their first child.

Tom broke the happy news on his YouTube channel on the most romantic day of the year… Valentine’s Day.

The video shows how the couple are spending their Valentine’s Day, preparing a romantic meal and you can hear Tom singing about transitioning from a family of two to a family of three.

Tom and Kelsey wait until the end of the video before showing a plate with toast and spaghetti letters spelling out the words: ‘Something’s cooking…’
