Before starting his venture with "The Wanted", Tom Parker received a crude rejection from ITV talent show "The X Factor," when he was only 16.

In 2015, Tom appeared in celebrity Master Chief. 

During an interview with BBC Tom recalled that bruising rejection and said "It shattered me…I didn't sing for two years".

In 2018, Parker tied the knot with Kelsey Hardwick and welcomed their baby girl the next year. The pair were expecting another child when Parker's diagnosis became public.
