“Hi guys, me an’ Shawn av been friends since we woz kids…e’s a good friend of me big bruvver’s, the kids laav ‘im….” or some claptrap.
Maybe he or someone he knows blabbed?That’s certainly a possibility. I think it could be someone that she befriended in the Sahara. OR, there is someone within her circle of friends who has been her cheerleader for a few years, but has been a bit quiet in her approval of Kelsey lately
Or to put it another way: Tom’s funeral was only 7 months ago, and they’ve been dating for two. FIVE months since Tom’s funeral (that we know of). She’s something else.
“Hello everyone, I just thought I’d jump on to saaaaaay…like…urm…”
Yep she never seemed that upset over it. It’s like she was enjoying the attention. Even when he died, she didn’t seem that broken like most people would if their husband died.
I feel so bad because I followed their story since Tom came out saying he was diagnosed with a GBM, but all of the way through I felt so uneasy about Kelsey’s behaviour, every interview she talked over him. But then I know maybe he didn’t have the strength and wanted her to be the voice of what they were doing through. But I agree how she has acted after Is weird, my only experience is my mum becoming a widow 10 years ago when my dad died at 50, and I know my mum felt so alone straight away that she wanted a companion within a few months but my mum didn’t have young children she had 2 grown up children in their 20’s,
My mum has dated since my dad died, and even being in my twenties it was hard, but my mum has now settled down with a new man who adores her, but I do think it’s very different when her 2 young babies are without their mum constantly !

The grieving widow! 
she's really annoying me now!

My heart just breaks for Tom. It really does. He didn't deserve any of this. 
She probably grates on them as well, especially if they look after her kids whilst she’s off
Nor do his parents, brother & childrenMy heart just breaks for Tom. It really does. He didn't deserve any of this.
Sorry on the wine after a hard 12 hour shift
but I don’t know how I feel about this, on the one hand I understand her wanting comfort. And I also don’t think she has played the grieving widow, I think throughout it has all been about her and how she is coping, even when Tom was dying, I didn’t appreciate her interview after when she said she lost him as soon as he was diagnosed and I know there’s another woman on here who lost her husband to a gbm, bless her soul I couldn’t tag her for some reason, but maybe she is best to explain what it is likeCan I please ask the following?
When did your opinion of Kelsey change from being a grieving widow, to selfishlessly enjoying the limelight?
= Within a month of Tom’s funeral & after the Loose Women & Sun interviews where she appeared cold & gave away personal info of Tom’s final hours
= Attending numerous celebrations, awards & events…spending so much time away from the kids.
Since hearing about this new boyfriend.
Just curious to know when the tide turned really. Thanks x

= Within a month of Tom’s funeral & after the Loose Women & Sun interviews where she appeared cold & gave away personal info of Tom’s final hoursAlthough I felt she was weird before he died but I didn’t want to put it in the Tom thread as it was when he was dying and then when he was dead
She seems emotionally switched off
Kelsey I shall spell this out for you . You have just been away for an entire week from your children. On a trek that raised literally zero money (well 1k last time I looked I think), for a cause that wasn’t your battle (!your husband didn’t die of breast cancer). Within three days you are out at some event partying with Olivia Atwood. Now here’s the simple bit for you “Go Home and spend time with your children, preferably without the camera in their faces with your eye bleeping yourself. You haven’t got a clue yet what those kids are going through - they are just babies but wait until they are older and you are going to get it tough. 5 years on and it’s only now it’s hitting my girl (11 now) like a tonne of bricks. You need to build them kids up now and they need a solid foundation. The headlines you woke up to today your kids will be able to Google, that’s going to give them one major head spin. Why contribute to their trauma? Just go home, phone off and come back if you have to when you are further down this journey as your going to look back at this and cringe.
I can’t bear this bloody woman!
She is devoid of any warmth or emotion - what is that….narcissism, emotional detachment? It may have been made worse by Tom’s illness and death, but looking through their you tube, she seems quite emotionless and hard in those too.
I hate the fact that she’s using Tom for her own agenda. She’s ridden on his coat tails since she was 19 as she doesn’t have enough talent of her own. Yes, she went to Italia Conti until she was nineteen, but then she just became a professional groupie.
She opened her drama school with Tom’s money where she seems to dip in and out when it suits…a bit like motherhood really.
I hate the fact that those poor kids have no stability and are looked after by different family members and friends. When
they wake up in the middle of the night upset or can’t sleep…where is she?!!
She attends all these charity events where we all know that if the cost of all those frocks, the food and drink where to be put into a pot, there might be some actual money raised. Why not be honest and say that it’s for her own publicity and agenda? She’s riding on Tom’s memory…and any Love Islanders for her own gain, just like she’s always done.
She says it ‘takes a village to look after her kids,” that’s true in her case, but it would help if at times she actually lived in that village from time to time!
I don’t have the energy to mention her killer boyfriend or if there have been others, but I hope some people start to sit up and take notice of the behaviour of this seemingly part time grieving widow and mother.
Those poor children are traumatised and she is NOT helping them!

This is so true
Everyone grieves differently and moves on at different rates, I completely get that
I also think she wants to carve a career so dye can survive financially
However there is no excuse at leaving these poor kids. Going from 24/7 with both parents during lockdown to losing their Dad to her now going away/out all the time
Yes you can argue she needs a break and to let her hair down after what she’s been through - but the kids can’t. The kids crave stability and familiarity after the trauma of losing their Dad. She needs to be their safety blanket not leaving them all the time - this is so wrong because they probably associate people going away with dying
She MAY have done her grieving when Tom received his terminal diagnosis but those children certainly didn’t, his family didn’t! Go home Kelsey!
And if you do insist on going to these events, please get a decent stylist!!!

Kelsey attended some awards/charity night that was sponsored by The Sun last night - the same paper that exposed her new boyfriend. THAT’s how desperate she is!!
Poor brave and inspirational woman.The grieving widow!
