The Wanted star Tom Parker suffering memory loss after brain tumour treatment
Tom Parker has sadly revealed that he is suffering memory loss following treatment for his brain tumour.
The former Wanted star announced earlier this year that he had been diagnosed with stage four glioblastoma.
He has since undergone several rounds of chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment for the inoperable brain tumour.
During a video on his Instagram Stories on Sunday (December 20), Tom revealed he has been experiencing memory loss as one of the symptoms from the treatment, forgetting things he's "just done" as a result.
"As some of you know, I have been through chemo and radio, haven't I?" Tom said.
"Which was pretty god-damn brutal, but some of the side effects from the chemo and radio are you get bad memory loss."
He later explained that while he struggles to remember the events of the day, he will remember "weird" things like presents for his daughter Aurelia.
He added: "But it's the weirdest thing because like, I'll go to [Kelsey], 'What did I just do?' But I can remember stuff like this…"

Last weekend, Tom and his wife Kelsey shared their 11-year anniversary and both posted heartfelt tributes to each other on Instagram.
"It's been an incredible journey so far, lots of adventures, a whole lotta love and two beautiful kids. Some slight obstacles to overcome but nothing we can't get through together," Tom wrote.
Kelsey added: "This year we have faced the biggest challenge but we have the most important thing and that is each other and our beautiful family."
