James Argent brands Tom Parker a ‘legend’ in heartfelt tribute to late singer

James 'Arg' Argent has shared a touching tribute to his friend Tom Parker following his untimely death at the age of 33 on Wednesday 30 March.

The former TOWIE star, 34, who recently channelled 007 as he oozed confidence after his 13st weight loss, took to his Instagram feed to share a series of photos and videos of them together from over the years before gushing over him in the caption.

One snap showed the pair smiling for the camera as a clip saw them celebrating at Tom's stag-do before marrying his wife Kelsey, 32, who announced the news of his death this week.

Another photo showed James posing in the middle as Kelsey and Tom held onto him from either side, while a third image showed Tom and the reality star speaking over a video call.



One photo saw James celebrating with a pregnant Kelsey and her husband, while another showed Tom and James smiling together. A final clip saw Tom singing I Love You Baby by Frank Sinatra.

James wrote alongside this: "Tom was such a Kind, Caring & Fun person. A truly Lovely and Beautiful man who was so Strong & Positive. I’m so grateful for all the memories I have with you & the quality time we spent together.

"From those weeks in Austria taking part in “The Jump” to us both stripping off & getting butt naked live on tv for “The Real Full Monty”. Performing together at your stag do is something I’ll never forget & always cherish. Being at both your engagement & baby party meant the world to me.


"You & @being_kelsey have been great friends to me, All those video calls and advice you gave me really helped me through tough times."

He added: "You & Kelsey are the definition of soulmates, The most solid & perfectly matched couple I’ve ever known. Your beautiful children will know how much of a legend there Dad was. I miss & love you mate," followed by a red heart emoji.

Kelsey also believed she and Tom were soul mates as she re-shared Michelle Keegan's post on their relationship, where the 24 year old had written: "Absolutely heartbroken for Kelsey, his beautiful babies, family and everyone who knew Tom. What a truly special guy.
