Describing how she feels when people ask how she’s coping, she said: “Of course I’m not okay, I’m never going to be the Kelsey I was two years ago and that’s just it.”
Adding: “The trauma I’ve suffered is beyond anything anyone could imagine.”
Kelsey - who shared children Aurelia, three, and Bodhi, two with Tom - also spoke about grieving for the life she believed she had lost.

She said: “All I wanted was to be with Tom, grow old together, sitting on a bench eating bread rolls.
“When we’d go out we’d be like ‘that will be us eating fish and chips on a bench’.
