Who is Will Lindsay?
Will Lindsay is a 28-year-old tree surgeon from Kent.
He is in a relationship with Kelsey Parker — the widow of Tom Parker, who was a member of the popular British boy band The Wanted.
Tom tragically passed away in March 2022 after a courageous battle with brain cancer.
Kelsey opened up about how Will stepped in to do things her late husband couldn't for their kids.
She said on her Mum's The Word podcast: "Tom died when he [Bohdi] was 18 months, I gave him everything.
"I have over given, Bridget Jones talks about it, when it's just you, I was mum and dad.
"I've given so much of me, now they just expect 'me, me, me at 3 o'clock in the morning.
"I'm so happy that Will is there and Will has taken, I don't want to say the role of dad… role model.
"So he now backs me, I've never had that because Tom was too ill, he couldn't really pick Bodhi up, so now I've go Will who backs me... Bodhi is like, 'hang on a second'.
"He absolutely adores Will and he listens to him, he needed the male role model."

Gemma Atkinson turns to crowdfunding to raise £500k to launch her beauty brand, but angry trolls rage she can ‘do one'
GEMMA Atkinson has sparked controversy after turning to crowdfunding to raise £500,000 to launch her own beauty brand. The actress has already attracted an impressive social media following for her skincare company Gem & Tonic, which aims to provide products to "simplify your beauty regime". 5 Gemma Atkinson has sparked controversy after turning to crowdfunding to raise £500k to officially launch her beauty brand Gem & Tonic Credit: Instagram/glouiseatkinson 5 The fundraising effort has already raised nearly £50,000, but investing isn't without risk, which a warning on the Crowdcube page stresses Credit: crowdcube/gemandtonic 5 She shared a look into the company's successes to date, but trolls weren't impressed Credit: Instagram/glouiseatkinson "Every single product combines scientifically-proven ingredients with mineral rich gemstones," she said. As she prepares to "officially launch" the brand in September 2025, Gemma has decided to try and raise funds through Crowdcube - which asks people to "invest in Europe's best startups". On the Crowdcube page, which has already raised £48,296 from 354 different investors, Gemma says: "We're now looking to raise £500,000 to officially launch in September 2025 to continue the movement and the community we've already started. "If you're looking to invest in a brand with a real community in real demand, you've found yourself a real good gem." The page also highlights some of the company's successes to date, including the fact they made £127,000 in pre-order sales in just three weeks. The equity investment has a share price of 90p and a pre-money valuation of £2.25 million. "The Company had already raised £250,000 prior to the Crowdcube raise," the page reads. "For the avoidance of doubt, this has been included in the pre-money valuation displayed in the pitch." And for those investing in the business, there are various 'rewards' for doing so - all of which start from an investment of £50. Investing £50 will get you a signed thank you card from Gemma, while for £25,000 you'll get to "meet Gemma and have lunch with the G&T team", as well as an investor-only lifetime discount of 15%, a product bundle, an invite to the press launch, lifetime early access to new products and Gemma's signed thank you note. Gemma Atkinson reveals her hit CBeebies show has been AXED after just one series However there's also a warning at the top of the Crowdcube page, which reads: "Don't invest unless you're prepared to lose all the money you invest. "This is a high-risk investment and you are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong." News of Gemma's crowdfunding efforts quickly made its way onto social media, with trolls using the comments section of the videos to have their say on the controversial move. "Why hasn't she used her own money?" one wrote. "I don't want to Invest of your not engaged to the hilt in every financial way." "Crowd funding to make herself rich," another added. What is crowdfunding? Crowdfunding is a popular choice for startups trying to raise money, typically via the internet. It's described as an alternative way to fund projects "without standard financial intermediaries". There are four different ways of crowdfunding: rewards-based, equity-based, debt-based and donation-based. Judging by Gemma's Crowdcube page, it seems she has adopted a reward-based approach to the funding attempt, with investors offered perks in exchange for their financial support. "Ok send me money and I'll start a business!" "So she wants people to help her… doesn't she know about the cost of living crisis us normal people are dealing with?" a third commented. "Over 1/2 mil in her bank - usual rich get richer!" someone else sighed. "Crowd funding? Gemma can do one," another raged. "Bloody hell she has more than most for money!" someone else said. And as another labelled it ridiculous, someone else agreed, writing: "Clearly not confident in her own idea to fully invest herself, putting up her property as collateral. "Guaranteed to fail." "She's got a nerve!" another commented. However, there were those in the comments who came to Gemma's defense. Crowdfunding to make herself rich! Social media commenter "She isn't making you invest!" one wrote. "I say fair play to her and wish her well." "Think she's asking for £10 as a minimum, which is reasonable," another added. "She's kept her community involved from the get go - naming, scents etc so I don't see the issue." "Shame to see so many women tearing other women down regardless of their status or financial situation!!" a third sighed. "So much hate in the world these days already." 5 Some angry commenters even told Gemma to "do one" after hearing about her crowdfunding efforts Credit: Instagram/glouiseatkinson

Holly Valance 'lonely and living separate life from husband years before split'
Kiss Kiss singer Holly Valance and her billionaire husband Nick Candy have confirmed they are splitting after 13 years of marriage amid claims they've been living separately Holly Valance was reportedly living a separate life from her British billionaire husband for years before they announced their official split. The ex-Neighbours star tied the knot with Nick Candy back in 2012 and the pair share two daughters, Luka Violet Toni, 13, and seven-year-old Nova Skye Coco. But now the former power couple look set to divorce after 13 years of marriage. And it's said that Kiss Kiss singer Holly, 42, and property tycoon Nick, 52 - who is also the treasurer of the Reform UK party, led by Nigel Farage - haven't been together for a 'long time.' The pair were last pictured together in March having a swanky lunch in London, with Holly dressed head-to-toe in Chanel and carrying a £2,300 Christian Dior tote bag. Prior to that they were seen publicly supporting Farage at Reform UK conferences after Nick switched allegiance from the Tory party last year - and rubbing shoulders with US President Donald Trump. Used to enjoying a lavish lifestyle, Holly and Nick once lived in a 'superluxe' Hyde Park penthouse worth £175million, thought to be the UK's most expensive flat. The two-storey pad is said to have five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a state-of-the-art gym, spa, 21-metre lap pool, private cinema, cocktail bar, wine cellar, a golf simulator, media room, two terraces - and also include valet and room service from the five-star Mandarin Oriental hotel next door. They are also said to own a £75 million mansion in Chelsea and a £10 million country pile in the Cotswolds. In 2020, Nick even gifted his wife a £26 million superyacht - even though she suffers from sea sickness. Holly was reportedly treated by celebrity hypnotist Paul McKenna so she could enjoy her lavish present. Though it seems money can't buy you happiness, as a source claimed Holly had been living a 'lonely life' in recent years. A source told MailOnline: "They have been living separate lives for a long time, he's travelling a lot and it's been a lonely life for Holly. Nick has businesses in Dubai and London, The Reform Party." The ex-couple are said to want to keep things private out of respect for their family. A friend said: "This has been a very difficult period for both Nick and Holly. The joint parenting of their two amazing daughters remains their top priority." The source added to The Sun: "They've had to juggle a demanding lifestyle. Between family, public life, and Nick's intense work commitments, it's been a tough balance. This is a family matter and they're doing their best to handle things thoughtfully. Privacy is obviously very important to them both, so they can focus on what's best for the family." A spokesman for the couple told the Mirror: "This is a private matter and we will not be making any further comment." Most people will remember Holly for playing Felicity 'Flick' Scully in Neighbours, which she landed when she was just 16. By the time she was 19 she'd launched a singing career and released her debut album Footprints in 2002, featuring Number 1 hits like Kiss Kiss. Her second album State of Mind came out two years later, but didn't do quite as well. Holly announced she was turning her back on music in 2004 and went to LA to pursue an acting career in Hollywood. She went on to star in hit US prison drama Prison Break and episodes of CSI: Miami and Entourage, as well as the movie Taken alongside Liam Neeson. Back in the UK, the British-Australian star - who has dual nationality - appeared in the 2011 series of Strictly Come Dancing where she was partnered with pro dancer Artem Chigvintsev. The pair managed to reach the semi-finals and finished in fourth place. Since then, mum-of-two Holly has remained largely out of the spotlight until her recent political appearances supporting the far-right Reform party. She has been credited for 'whispering in his ear' and encouraging Nigel Farage to stand for British Prime Minister, as well as given huge donations to the party. And she's said to have helped raise millions for Trump stateside. Expressing her political views at a PopCon - Popular Conservatism - conference last year, she told GB News: "Everyone starts off as a lefty and then wakes up at some point and realises what crap ideas they all are."
