Kelsey Parker, Life After Tom: James Argent recalls getting spray tans with ... trends now

James Argent was amused during ITVBe documentary Kelsey Parker: Life After Tom on Thursday as he recalled getting a spray tan with the late Tom Parker ahead of their striptease performance for The Real Full Monty.

Tom, who died in March this year at the age of 33 after a year-and-a-half long battle with stage four glioblastoma brain cancer, appeared with Arg on the show in 2018 in aid of testicular and prostate cancer awareness.

And, in a lighthearted moment, former TOWIE star Arg, who was good friends with Tom, was seen laughing with Tom's widow Kelsey, 32, about the moment they prepared to go on stage and get totally naked for the show.

He said: 'I remember me and Tom got spray tans together. We were about to get naked in front of millions of people watching at home.

'We looked at each other and I was like, "Tom, are you alright?"'

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

Talking of Tom's 2020 diagnosis, Kelsey said: 'That's what you think is crazy, that he did The Full Monty and literally got cancer.'

James replied: 'You couldn't write it, could you.

Meanwhile, Kelsey said in the programme that she was unable to look at pictures of Tom or listen to The Wanted's music.

Sitting by a black and white photo of the singer as she sat in a room she described as 'Tom's space', she glanced up and said: 'I can't have any more pictures downstairs of him.

'I come and look at him before bed. I'll be like, "Night!" That's a sad one, isn't it?
