Arg told the actress: ‘You’ll always have a friend in me,’ while she admitted to being ‘nerves’ in her own post shared after Kelsey Parker: Life After Tom aired.

He wrote in his caption: ‘Everyone loved Tom so much but nothing can compare to Kelsey’s love for him. I can’t imagine how hard it’s been for her since his passing.

‘Everyone deals with Grief in different ways, I’m so proud of how strong she’s been for her children. We miss Tom badly. Kelsey, You’ll always have a friend in me ❤️.’

The reality star became good friends with the Glad You Came hitmaker when they took part in The Real Full Monty in 2018 in aid of testicular and prostate cancer awareness.

Kelsey, sharing a beaming snap to her own profile, thanks viewers for their support while confessing she had been nervous ahead of the programme’s transmission.

She penned: ‘Thank you all so much for all the kind messages and comments I’ve had since the show aired last night.

‘I’m not gonna lie I was nervous about it going out, sharing so much of me & Tom and talking so openly about this subject that many people shy away from.

‘I’m so proud of this show and just the comments we’ve had from episode 1 has reassured me that we needed to make it, and encourage the conversation.

‘There’s five more episodes and I’m looking forward to sharing them with you. Next episode airs next Thursday 8th December 9pm on ITV Be. #PositiveParkersForever.’ 

James, who appeared in the series premiere, was left amused as he recalled getting a spray tan with the late Tom ahead of their striptease performance for The Real Full Monty.

‘He didn’t give me much confidence, that’s for sure.’
