Everything Tom Moore’s family did to be exposed tonight after finally confessing to keeping £800,000 meant for charity

Everything that has been going on surrounding the family of Captain Tom Moore is set to be exposed this evening during an interview with Piers Morgan on Talk TV.

The family are set to offer their side of the story to the public this evening on Talk TV, opening up on the scandal surrounding the building of a spa pool at their £1.2 million house, the money raised from Captain Tom’s books, and payments made to his daughter for attending foundation events, despite her being paid to be the chief executive of the charitable foundation.

This evening, Talk TV will broadcast the interview with Hannah Ingram-Moore, her husband Colin and their two children, 14-year-old Georgia and 19-year-old Benji.

Speaking after the interview, Morgan said: “This was one of the most difficult interviews of my career.

“The bottom line is they should never have accepted or kept a penny from anything to do with Captain Tom and public money.

“It wasn’t just a clear conflict of interest, and deeply unethical, it was a betrayal of his legacy.”

On the show, Hannah Ingram-Moore admitted that the family kept £800,000 in royalties from three books written by the late Captain Tom, who came to public attention during the Covid-19 lockdowns for raising £38.9 million for the NHS by walking around his garden 100 times before his 100^th birthday.

Discussing that money, Ingram-Moore said: “These were my father’s books, and it was honestly such a joy for him to write them, but they were his books.

“He had an agent and they worked on that deal, and his wishes were that that money would sit in [separate family company] Club Nook , and in the end…”

Morgan asked: “For you to keep?” to which Ingram-Moore replied: “Yes.”

In the prologue of his autobiography Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day, Moore wrote: “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.”

There have been other accusations, too.

It emerged that Ingram-Moore was paid £18,000 to attend the Virgin Media O2 Captain Tom Foundation Connector Awards in 2021, despite receiving a significant salary as the chief executive of the foundation.

The fee was paid to another family company, Maytrix Group, with Ingram-Moore keeping £16,000 and donating £2,000 to the charity.

She explained: “I think in hindsight what I should have done is stalled that relationship to afterwards.

“I think it’s all very easy to look back and think I should have made different ­decisions, but I hadn’t planned on being the CEO.”

The family also applied for planning permission for an office in the company’s name, before building a spa and poolhouse at their house, retroactively applying for planning permission for that.

“We have to accept that we made a decision, and it was probably the wrong one,” Ingram-Moore admitted.
