She wrapped up warm in a black coat while electrician Sean looked dapper in a black top and matching trousers, which he paired with a black and white checked jacket.

“The group were seen laughing together on the train platform before the night out, which was bittersweet for Kelsey as it was her first Valentine’s Day without Tom.”
In November last year, it emerged that Kelsey – who shared children Aurelia, three) and Bodhi, two, with Tom – was dating Sean about eight months after the death of her husband Tom.
The couple were introduced by friends at a wedding in London’s Greenwich last October.
Sean spent time behind bars after fatally beating 44-year-old Shaun McDermott during a heated argument over a taxi outside the Havering Oak pub in Romford, Essex.
Sean was waiting for his then-girlfriend to pick him up when an argument broke out with Shaun, who was thrown to the ground during the skirmish. CCTV footage later picked up the electrician walking away from the scene.
Shaun was discovered by police around 1am lying on the sidewalk with a brain hemorrhage. A post-mortem found he died from head injuries and Boggans was sentenced to four years in prison by a judge at the Old Bailey.
He had been drinking with two of his sisters Maureen and Kathy at the nearby Wheatsheaf pub before heading home.
Kelsey’s rep was contacted by Web for comment.

Kelsey previously said her late husband would be “happy” if she found love again after his death.
The widow broke her silence after it was revealed she was in the early stages of a relationship with new man Sean.
On the third episode of her reality show Kelsey Parker: Life After Tom, Kelsey opened up about how she thought Tom would give her his blessing to find someone new, with the actress stressing that she was “so young”.
Kelsey was seen hanging out with a group of other women who had also lost their partners.
When one asked if she thought Tom would be happy for her to move on with her life, she replied: “We didn’t really have those conversations but knowing Tom I have a feeling he would be happy for me.
