“I said, ‘You know Tom, I will be OK, the kids will be OK. I will make sure that everything you want them to know, the things that you’ve taught me over the years, I promise to teach them it all’,” Kelsey said in an exclusive interview with The Sun.
“He said, ‘I know you’re going to be OK’. He then took off his wedding ring and put it on my finger.
“It was that exchange of love. We were so in love. He had this look in his eyes, it was the fear of leaving me, he was looking at me, ‘How can I leave you?’
“I think he knew then it was the end but he still had the Tom fight in him. He didn’t want to go. You always want that miracle and I was wishing for that miracle. Of course you want that.”

The Sun previously told how Tom chose to play Oasis hit Live Forever as he passed away, and Kelsey – who shares children Bodhi and Aurelia with The Wanted singer – revealed the last words she said to her husband.
She said: “We had music playing in the room all day for him, it was his life and it was his passion.
“Live Forever by Oasis was playing. He was sedated and I was holding his hand.
“Everyone was at the hospice, all our family and friends, but it was just me with him in the room.

“We had that time together. When he passed away I closed his eyes and I gave him a kiss and said I love you. I told him he was my everything.”
Kelsey announced the sad news that Tom had passed away aged 33 with a statement on social media.
She said: “It is with the heaviest of hearts that we confirm Tom passed away peacefully earlier today with all of his family by his side.
“Our hearts are broken, Tom was the centre of our world and we can’t imagine life without his infectious smile and energetic presence.
