Just when we thought we’d heard the last of Captain Tom’s family, the pandemic hero’s disgraced family have been at it again. Subjecting themselves to a grilling at the hands of Piers Morgan, Captain Tom’s family admitted they would still keep the £800,000 his books generated – despite the public outcry over their flashy spending.
In 2020, 99-year-old Captain Tom wrote a trilogy of books, the sales of which boomed following his epic fundraising efforts during the first lockdown. In a clip from the interview which airs tonight on TalkTV, his daughter, Hannah Ingram-Moore, admitted that the family pocketed the £800,000 from the books instead of putting the money into the charitable Captain Tom Foundation. Ingram-Moore said she did so because this was in line with Captain Tom’s wishes.
In a new clip published today, her husband Colin has now admitted they would do it all again.
