The Wanted's Tom Parker gets Covid jab amid cancer battle and tells fans to 'get it done'

The Wanted's Tom Parker has urged fans to 'get it done' as he received his first Covid jab.

The 32-year-old is classed as clinically extremely vulnerable as he is currently undergoing treatment for a tumour on his brain.

He shared images of himself visiting the vaccination site on Wednesday, giving a thumbs up as he wrote: "Off to get my first Covid jab."

A second shot showed a masked Tom waiting in line, and was captioned: "Just get it done so we can all move on."

Earlier this month fans were thrilled when Tom shared his delight after his brain tumour showed a significant reduction following treatment.

Taking to Instagram the father-of-two praised the NHS as he posted: "SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION. These are the words I received today and I can’t stop saying them over and over again."

He shared a picture with his wife Kelsey and their infants, explaining he was "responding well" to treatment.

Wrote Tom: "I had an MRI scan on Tuesday and my results today were a significant reduction to the tumour and I am responding well to treatment. Everyday I’m keeping on the fight to shrink this bastard!"

He continued: "I can’t thank our wonderful NHS enough. You’re all having a tough time out there but we appreciate the work you are all doing on the front line."

Kelsey and Tom welcomed their son Bodhi in October last year, joining their one-year-old daughter Aurelia Rose.

Shortly before Bodhi's birth Tom broke the tragic news of his stage four cancer with fans.

Tom has said he is fighting "every second" to be there for his young children.
