Captain Tom's daughter admits pocketing £800,000 from three books written by veteran who helped raise £39million for the NHS - as hero's family reveal their 'regret' over spa and pool complex at their £1.2million home...but still want to keep it
  • 6 months ago
In a tearful interview, Hannah Ingram-Moore (centre) told how they received the money thanks to her father Captain Tom (left with autobiography, bottom right celebrating laps) - whose lockdown walks raised £39million for the nation's health service. During the interview, Mrs Ingram-Moore said her war hero father had wanted the family to keep the profits from his three books: Captain Tom's Life Lessons, One Hundred Steps and his autobiography Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day. The family is adamant that there was no suggestion that those buying the books thought they were giving money to charity. But those claims are under scrutiny as it has emerged the prologue of his autobiography (inset left) suggested funds were being raised. It stated: 'Astonishingly at my age, with the offer to write this memoir I have also been given the chance to raise even more money for the charitable foundation now established in my name.' During the bombshell interview, Mrs Ingram-Moore also breaks her silence on the £85,000 salary she earned as interim CEO of the Captain Tom Foundation as well as the £18,000 she made for being a judge at an awards ceremony which featured the charity's name. Only £2,000 of that fee was donated to the charity.
