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

She is not coming across well.

@WestwardHo1 People feel duped and therefore embarrassed and angry.

I think if people purchased CTMs book feeling like they were also helping a charity in the process (and why wouldn't they, the book said that's what would happen) and then found the profits went to Hannah. Who then popped up unrepentantly on telly then they are entitled to feel angry.

That woman who slept with a 100 or 1000 men recently (can’t remember how many as si refused to read the junk about her) Bluebell or whatever her name was - I was told by a relative who saw it that she was interviewed on breakfast TV as if what she was doing was the most normal thing in the world 😮. So it doesn’t surprise me. Best thing is to watch none of this junk.

^ that was in reference to the previous poster who asked why people like Tom’s daughter were given a platform on TV.

NebulousDogBollocking · 07/03/2025 16:18

I agree @Poppymeldrum , the Faking It team wouldn't need to work hard to earn their fee for that episode.

BeardofHagrid · 07/03/2025 16:17

Why on earth is she being allowed on TV again…..

CrazyOldMe · 07/03/2025 16:17

I don't like Hannah, but this whole narrative is a bit too "burn the witch" for me...

@Skandar It was the yard of her house he walked around. One suspects it was her idea. I found it bizarre what people cling onto. The money initially raised did go to charity as intended. The issue was the book and a subsequent charity. She would have been far better advised to go away quietly. Instead she's prepared to face down Rinder. In the end some people just end up believing their own B-S: sadly.

It was a rather substantial.yard TBF 🤣

She tried to piggy back on his popularity and make a bit of money for herself but people have done worse. I'd say she is on par with politicians who abuse expenses. Her father raised £39 million for NHS charities and as far as I know the charities did receive all of this money so I struggle a bit to understand the hate for this family.

I think the hate and derision is born of embarrassment to be honest. Embarrassment about the whole thing - the clapping, the banging of pots and pans, the constant "stay home"ing, the fervent voicing of the belief that if we all stayed home and watched netflix then it would all blow over, that if we locked down harder and avoided this, that and the other, then we'd be hastening the end of the pandemic and lockdown and therefore freedom. People feel duped and therefore embarrassed and angry.

It was all completely loopy.

Poppymeldrum · 07/03/2025 16:08

I've just watched the interview

What makes her an expert on grief?
She lost her father (I'm genuinely very sorry about that) but everyone has lost someone in life-what makes her the expert and her loss is greater than anyone else's?

I will guarantee nobody stopped her to chat about grief the way she claims half the country did

I know her type of personality well-give this type a chink,and greed takes over
They cannot help themselves and will never see they are in the wrong

I firmly believe one,if not both her parents where like this and she takes after them-somebody influenced her,it might not have been her father (might not have been her mother,but somebody did)

It's interesting that the other sister has backed right off and has never taken part in any of this

Bloody grifter-she needs to walk away with her tail between her legs but she won't as she will genuinely never see that she's done anything wrong,even though the whole country is telling her she is

Grifters gonna grift,but good on Rob rinder for really taking her apart

You could see her brain trying to keep ip with the lies she's peddled and was trying to remember what she'd said

It would be interesting to get her on that programme 'faking it;tears of a crime' (won't happen as her type are too well connected and she won't face any legal consequences)

CurlewKate · 07/03/2025 16:08

What have people got against Rob Rinder? Seems a decent enough chap to me.....

oakleaffy · 07/03/2025 15:56

What a load of tosh! Now selling a self published book.
If people would like to read a book about grief of older parents and others, Virginia Ironside’s wonderful “ You’ll get over it” ( title is sarcasm) is well reviewed.

sourgrapes45 · 07/03/2025 08:25

Rob Rinder is barely containing his contempt for her.

On one hand I do feel a bit sorry for her, her reputation is in tatters and she looks very meek and uncomfortable. But she obviously is a dodgy character.

She’s a fucking grifter with a capital G.
She should feel shame, she has caused many people to mistrust charities like hers.
Awful behaviour.

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 07/03/2025 15:15

@TizerorFizz It's what he would have wanted apparently 🤔.

TizerorFizz · 07/03/2025 15:13

@AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta Ha!! All gone! That's another example of chancing it.

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 07/03/2025 15:11

@TizerorFizz No spa unfortunately. Otherwise I'd snap it up.

TizerorFizz · 07/03/2025 15:09

Yours for £2 million. Apologies if I'm wring!

I've had to turn off. Uncomfortable viewing!

I think she's had some surgery since the Captain Tom stuff - nose looks different and cheeks look smoother. It was obvious when they showed her alongside footage from 2020.

Can you show examples? She doesn’t look any different to me.

There are far worse grifters and charlatans than her walking among us. She's a chancer, of that there is no doubt, however I think the backlash is inordinate.

And she could have quietly fucked off and been forgotten about very quickly, but she instead chose to throw herself on to the fire, at the very minimum showing her total lack of self awareness. Who does she think actually gives a shit about what she has to share in a book. Nobody does. But that won’t stop her trying to cash in on all this bullshit

Robert Rinder is possibly worse than the awful Ingram-Moore. Foul pair, self-serving vanity is off the scale.

Nonsense, he asked the searching questions that needed to be asked.

crockofshite · 07/03/2025 14:47

A lot of my neighbours clapped for the NHS partly for social reasons. After the clapping stopped people would hang around for a natter. I have no problem with that.

I don't know what they thought about the gov's treatment of health workers but there were a lot of NHS posters in windows.

Still that doesn't pay the bills.

However I couldn't bring myself to take part with the clapping. As a previous poster pointed out the health workers should have been given proper pay rises to reflect what they had to endure.

TootingLido · 07/03/2025 14:45

I can’t watch Rinder. So I’m torn about watching the interview. I think I would find the two of them together just too maxed out toe curdling at once.

Coffeeishot · 07/03/2025 14:42

TootingLido · 07/03/2025 14:33

Reminds me of someone else in the public eye. A woman who lived temporarily in England, but didn’t get on with the in-laws and her house was too small.

There is other threads for your Ducheess of Sussex bile,

The initial money went to NHS together it's the sir tom charity and the lack of clarity that people are struggling with, the book that was written had a forward that mentioned NhS people bought that book after been misguided where the money went, Hannah was paid a heafty salary from appearances on behalf of the sir tom charity she isn't allowed to hold another charity position for 10 years because misappropriation of funds etc etc. She is imo untrustworthy and not an ounce of decency,

Yes, did make me chuckle that her book is self published. It's like she's been turned down by multiple publishers for various reasons but she will still force her book into the public eye because she thinks she's got something important to say 🙄
