This Morning viewers were complaining just minutes into the penultimate show of the week over what they found to be a 'disrespectful' start. Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield were back fronting the ITV daytime show on Thursday (March 31) and had spent the morning before the show celebrating ahead of Schofe's milestone birthday on Friday, which also happens to be April Fools Day.
But viewers were left unimpressed when the show got underway and there was no mention of Tom Parker who tragically died on Wednesday (March 30) after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour in 2020. The Wanted star revealed the news of his diagnosis to fans in October 2020 when his wife, Kelsey, was pregnant with their second child.
Their son, Bhodi, arrived the same month. The couple, who married in 2019, also shared a daughter, Aurelia, who they welcomed in July 2019.

It was Kelsey who confirmed Tom's passing, aged just 33, on Wednesday with a statement posted on Instagram alongside a grey and white picture of the singer, from Bolton. "Our hearts are broken, Tom was the centre of our world and we can't imagine life without his infectious smile and energetic presence," she said.
"We are truly thankful for the outpouring of love and support and ask that we all unite to ensure Tom’s light continues to shine for his beautiful children. Thank you to everyone who has supported in his care throughout, he fought until the very end. I’m forever proud of you."
Tributes have since been flooding in from fans, fellow music stars, and those who got to know Tom, whether that be personally or through his continued openness throughout his cancer journey.
