Is currently getting her arse handed to her by Judge Rinder on Good Morning Britain...

She is not coming across well.

The breath taking arrogance of this woman never ceases to amaze me.
She is an insult to her father's memory.

"Captain Tom" was her carefully crafted persona. Without her clever marketing skills, we would never have heard of him and we have no idea what the man was actually like - although poster have made reference to unpleasant misogynistic comments in his book.

I mean it was such a clever grift and grabbed hold of the nation so much, I'm surprised by her complete misstep now.

Yes she's a wrong un, I read somewhere she is related to the fella who tried to fiddle who's wants to be a millionaire, I don't know why she keeps giving interviews, just go away and count your money.

Rob Rinder must be the best interviewer on tv. He really tore into that awful woman and should now be employed to interview the politicians

Picoloangel · 08/03/2025 20:53

Hmm that house. It’s missing something. If only it had, I dunno, a spa block.

anon666 · 08/03/2025 20:29

Next thing she'll reappear on Trump's team like the grifter she really is.

Why yes, of course I treat common viruses that have been around for years or are easily vaccinated in exactly the same way as I treated the COVID pandemic that resulted in a lockdown, a series of emergency laws and a massively overstretched national health service.

Presumably then, every time any of your family pick up a cold or a tummy bug you stay in total isolation until the entire family has been clear of any symptoms for 72 hours! 🙄

She’s a terrible person. I remember saying that I didn’t trust her at the time and I got crucified.

That was tantamount to saying the level of national ‘grief’ when Diana died was OTT and hysterical.

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

Quite! And he wasn’t an innocent party either in my opinion. Just because someone is old and frail doesn’t make them a wily old bird, his apple didn’t fall far from his tree.

Oh, you see, we did the normal human thing of trying not to spread a disease to others that might kill them ☺️

I was very comfortable watching the interview. She was just being asked to account for her disgraceful actions! The only reason she was there was to promote another book. The programme needed to make clear to viewers where the royalties would be going if they buy a copy. The audacity of her doing the rounds of TV/Radio studios promoting this is stunning after what has been clearly revealed about her. She has no shame.

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 08/03/2025 18:51

@Boredlass Ditto for me too! I found it quite galling to see her in the Royal box at Wimbledon taking all the applause.

Yes this irritated the life out of me, especially because all the other people in the royal box was sports men and women who'd actually accomplished things. Mind you even the man next to her is looking like WTAF at the blowing kisses 😂.

I quite fancy a change of face, like Nicholas Cage in the film Face Off.

I'm hoping Cameron Diaz is up for a swap with my face 😂

I'm a bit old for her but maybe Helen Mirren or, at a pinch, Francesca Annis. I've always wanted to vanish and then reinvent myself, must do before it's too late.

well I had kids under 10 and they did the normal human thing of getting together at friends' houses and seeing each other in real life.
If your children were lonely enough that you were stood on your doorstep banging a pan to get an iota of human conatct then that was on you for being daft enough to follow the nonsense "rules".
People make snotty remarks because they can't believe how gullible people were; often to the detriment of their own children

It's good to hear that the money did some good.

I brindle at Captain Tom being marketed as the nation's grandfather however and Hannah comes across as being very grabby. I never had much interest in their scheme, it seemed false.

She really should not have been taking large amounts of money and let it go now.

BustingBaoBun · 08/03/2025 17:40

Every time I said anything on Mumsnet I got jumped on by patronising righteous idiots

I agree, she certainly has seemed quite out of her depth when I've seen her interviewed. I think, after this venture, she will bow out of the public gaze and I hope the media then leaves her alone. It's not just her who is affected, she has family. Sometimes a line has to be drawn.

If I was her I'd change my name and move house, have my hair cut differently and wear glasses.

Now I've said that I quite fancy reinventing myself. Any tips appreciated :).
