Captain Toms daughter

I still can't believe she went to Barbados with him in December 2020 (while most people were still in some form of lockdown) only for him to pass away from covid less than 6 weeks after returning. The whole thing was opportunistic and she deserves the backlash. I just don't know why she's still going.

I didn't see the interview, but I read the bbc article about her yesterday. She definitely seems like a grifter despite her protests!

Surprised she hasn’t left the country, you would think it would be hard to hold your head up in public… but maybe some people just like any flavour of notoriety!

I agree, he was shameless as well.

I think her upper middle class respectable veneer is now well and truly gone, along with any remnants of good reputation.

I'd say her remaining options are either to knock the publicity-seeking on the head and disappear from public view completely or - if she's still desperate to cling on to infamy fame and whatever she can earn from it - to embrace the whole posh Katie Price vibe: where people are constantly compelled to see which way the cringefest binfire is burning this time.

She has a three book deal, one about perseverance, one about being in the limelight and an autobiography. She was a business consultant before and nobody will work with her now, so this is how she's making a living.

Agreed.
She accepted that it was misleading that the book introduction said that sales would go to charity and said this was a “mistake”.
How about just saying, out of respect for people who bought the book on that basis, we’ll give the money we made to the NHS….?
She could rehabilitate herself by doing that, but bottom line is she wants the money.

I did eyes nearly rolled out of his head 😀

I don't think it is obvious. What is obvious is that things got out of hand. If Hannah did not want to show that she is innocent, she wouldn't be writing a book, appearing on day time television and allowing herself to be interviewed, she'd hide. She is out of her depth, however I don't believe the intention was ever to defraud and others were involved in all this. The charity commission and publisher have been far too glib for my liking, they have the experience and the right people to smooth things over.

However we will never really know. I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt.

Hannah doesn't look to me at all as though she has had surgery. They are all well made up in the studio for the camera but I thought she looked tired and a bit thinner.

The likes of the Daily Mail are going to have a field day with this.

Why do people tink he was ignoant of the con just because he was old?
Odious man

Who's going to buy it is the question?

He was fantastic. I wish Kate had taken a back seat and let him do the full interview.

Throwing her late dad under the bus.😱

Did you see the side eye Rob gave Hannah when Kate thanked her for coming on. He hates her lol.

She does have a brass neck not a bit of shame!

The house was up for sale. Has it sold? The spa without pp was demolished. She's full of her own &"@! Could Sir Capt Tom really have wanted all this? The Charities Commission found against her and her DH. They mismanaged the charity and benefitted personally from it. Surely you would just disappear quietly?

I don’t feel the anger others do and I realise that makes me a lone voice. I don’t think she’s a criminal, I do think she was opportunist and made some very bad decisions that showed a disregard for the public who had contributed so generously to the Captain Tom Foundation.

I believe the situation blew up from innocent beginnings and they got greedy. And I can see the thinking. Without the family’s help and support, which was considerable and meant putting their own careers and lives on the back burner, the NHS wouldn’t have benefitted from the millions that were raised. At some point they convinced themselves they were entitled to claim some of that because they/she were instrumental in it being raised. That was where things went very wrong.

The problem was forgetting, or choosing to forget, that all this was happening under the auspices of a charity. The minute the Foundation was created the family lost the right to decide what was “owed” for their contribution. From then on some very poor and self serving decisions were made, including misleading the public into thinking proceeds from the book were mainly for charity, and using the Foundation to apply for planning permission for the pool/spa building.

It’s a shame that this is what people remember of the CTF and not how it lifted people’s spirits during a very difficult time, I also worry about the effect on their children of all this public hate.

I am astounded that after everything she’s done she’s got the balls to go on TV 😳😳 most people would be hiding in a corner having gone into hiding! Just shows what kind of person she is.

I think Rinder did an amazing job. He said what everyone was thinking and didn’t hold back.

Lordy, I hadn't realised so many copies were sold!

You reckon 450k sales in a week? Goodness.

Is it online anywhere? Would like to watch it

Poor man?

He was as big a grifter as the rest of his family.

His couldn't keep his contempt from showing could he ? Good for him she is a horrific woman still bleating on poor me.

I hope no one buys her book, she's shameless.

I was pissing myself when people were going along with that family of grifters.
People lost their minds in covid.
