Tom Parker is “over the moon” after doctors confirmed his brain tumour is stable. 

The Wanted star felt a “mix of emotions” after being told that his inoperable glioblastoma is now “stable”.

Alongside a family photograph, featuring wife Kelsey and their two kids, the Glad You Came hitmaker admitted his family can “sleep a little easier”.

“I’m sat here with tears in my eyes as i tell you. We’ve got my brain tumour under control,” he revealed. “We had the results from my latest scan…and I’m delighted to say it is STABLE. 

“Such a mix of emotions. We couldn’t ask for any more really at this point; a year or so into this journey. 

“Honestly over the moon. We can sleep a little easier tonight. Thank you for all your love and support over the last 12+ months. Love from Me, Kelsey, Aurelia & Bo.”

Tom was given 12 to 18 months of survival when he was diagnosed last year but, after undergoing six rounds of chemotherapy and 30 radiotherapy sessions, Tom is now hoping to be cancer-free by March.

He said: “You’ll always be classed as terminal. They give you 12 to 18 months of survival. But that’s the general statistics. Everyone we’ve ­spoken to has been way, way beyond that.

“Now, we’re aiming to be cancer-free by March. That’s the aim. This disease is always there. You might have residual cells but just not active. So, we’ll just carry on, just crack on and see where we get to.”

The Wanted released their comeback track Rule the World earlier this month and returned to the stage with a performance on the ‘Stand Up to Cancer’ telethon. 

‘Most Wanted – The Greatest Hits’, out November 12, is available to pre-order on CD and Cassette.
