The Wanted singer Tom Parker is "happy to be back" with his fellow bandmates a year on from his cancer diagnosis.

The pop singer, 33, revealed in October 2020 that he had been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour, but last month he announced that the results of a scan showed it was now "stable" and "under control" after he received treatment.

The boy band have recently reunited after a seven-year break and referenced Parker's health situation as one of their motivations to regroup.

The Wanted joined the pre-recorded Christmas Day special of ITV's Good Morning Britain to to perform an acapella number and discuss their decision to return.

Parker gave an update on his health on the morning programme and said he was "just cracking on" with life.

He said: "It’s unusual to get into this position a year down the way, but I’m just happy to be back with the boys and happy to be out of the house and away from the kids to be honest with you!

"They’re at that age now where they’re hurting Daddy’s ears!"

Fellow band member Nathan Sykes added: "The biggest gift we’ve got this Christmas is being in a band with Tom."
