Tom Parker, formerly off The Wanted, has had a whirlwind of a month. He only just finished TV's most dangerous show, The Jump, where he bagged a place on the podium. And now he's engaged!
You go Tom!
AND unlike most of the celebs who took part in this year's The Jump, Tom managed to finish the show relatively injury free. Although he did confide to us that he's still suffering after one fall left him with a huge bruise on his arse.
*blushes at the mention of Tom Parker's bum *
Moving on…
Tom revealed this week that he had asked his long-term girlfriend, Kelsey Hardwick, to marry him in a super-cute way. It involved a gorgeous trail of rose petals and a montage of pics of the couple.
Basically everything and more that we'd want from a proposal.
Awwwwww.
So heat sat down for an exclusive chat with Tom alllll about his wedding plans, his thoughts on Cheryl Cole and Liam Payne, and what really happened about the beef between The Wanted and One Direction.
**heat: Firstly, congrats on The Jump – you came third. That's amazing. **
Tom: "I know, but I was gutted because I did really want to win it. Every time I put my skis on I was like, 'Am I a professional skier right now? I feel like a pro!'. But then on the finals night I just bottled it 'cos everything was going out live and all I kept thinking while I was out there was 'do NOT stack it and look like a prick'."
**Yup, falling over on live TV would be pretty embarrassing. Although TBF you came home in one piece, which meant that your proposal plans weren't ruined… Congrats BTW on the engagement! **
"Thanks. Yeah, it's all a bit weird at the moment. She's my fiancee, which is crazy. I mean we've been speaking about getting married for probably about two or three years now. And we always knew that we wanted to be together forever.
"It sounds soft but I just knew she was the one. It just took a long time for it to happen because being in The Wanted meant that I was very time-restricted and then when the band broke up, Kelsey and I were both focused on our individual careers for a bit. But it got to a few weeks before I went away to film The Jump and I was just like, OK right, I'm doing this. I'm going to propose."
**So have you got any sort of theme in mind for the big day? **
"Kelsey would really like a secret garden theme with a trail of flowers going towards the ceremony. But she also would really like to have the wedding abroad, whereas I really want to get married in the UK so all our families will be able to attend."
**And who's going to get to be there? Will we get to witness a Wanted reunion? **
"I would really, REALLY like us to get back together as a five. They'll all obviously going to be invited to the wedding but I think it'd be so cool for us to get back on stage as a band and perform a couple of numbers together in the evening."
**You could even get Jay McGuiness to choreograph for you. He could teach you some moves from his time on Strictly... **
"Yeah that would mint. Did you see what he tweeted the other day about him choreographing?
"And I've already spoken to Arg [yep: James 'Arg' Argent from TOWIE] and I'm going to get the Arg band to play in the evening too.
"I was out with him and Lydia [Bright, his TOWIE girlfriend] last week and I was like, 'mate, can you play at my wedding?' and he was like, 'f*cking yes!' Imagine how good that will be. And then I'll get up and do some stuff on stage with him too."
**Yes, yes, YES. Who knows, if it works out you two could become the greatest duo since Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan **
"Yeah. I dunno, he's got quite a soul-y voice and I don't know if that would work with my house music but I'd try it! Maybe we'd put a new twist on house music."
^ our new fave singing duo.
How about The X Factor – fancy trying your luck as the new presenter?
"I'm not saying that Olly Murs or Caroline Flack did a bad job but I personally think that no one can do a better job than Dermot O'Leary. He could just pull things together, even when they weren't going right."
And what do you make of Cheryl Cole's newly confirmed relationship with Liam Payne?
"People have said they're not genuine but I just think they've got to be together. And he's doing really well for himself with everything, and she's got a good-looking chap, so fair play."
**Last time we checked, The Wanted were in a HUGE feud with One Direction. Is that finally all forgotten about now? **
"That whole situation got blown really out of proportion, really quickly. It started from a really bitchy comment from Max (George, Tom's bandmate) and then it got blown up. The next thing, it turned into us being like yeah, let's have a fight."
**Madness. A real life boyband v boyband fight… **
"I know. And apart from Nathan (Sykes), us The Wanted boys all had, like, five years on them, so they wouldn't have had a chance. But then again, weirder things have happened. Imagine that though – if I'd got beaten up by One Direction!"
