Earlier this month brave Kelsey opened up Loose Women about life without her beloved husband.

She added: “I feel strong, I’m just getting through each day. I have the kids. I have to wake up each day, I have to get on with it, just trying to be as strong as possible in a really difficult situation and time for us all.”
