Captain Tom’s daughter storms off camera after admitting to keeping £800,000

Captain Sir Tom Moore’s daughter has admitted keeping the money from the sales of books written by her father.

Hannah Ingram-Moore admitted to keeping £800,000 in profits from the three books that Captain Tom wrote before he died, and stormed out of an interview with Piers Morgan while speaking about it before returning to answer more questions.

In the prologue of one of those books it was suggested that the profits from the books would go to the charity that bears his name.

Ingram-Moore told TalkTV that her dad wanted the profits from the books to go to Club Nook Ltd, a family company that is separate from the Captain Tom Foundation Charity.

Hannah Ingram-Moore said that Captain Tom was part of the conversations about the revenues the family made.

She said: "My father was part of all of those discussions and that company is there in its essence to protect him.

"Also from his perspective we had a right to live, to live as well as we could live. We are hard workers, not shirkers."

She then told Morgan he was pursuing a 'really unfair line of questioning' before the interview was stopped for a time as she stepped out.

They later went back on the record to say that 'the vast majority of our money came from the three books he wrote' which were 'never anything to do with the charity'.

She said: "These were 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 Club Nook, and in the end…"

Morgan asked: "For you to keep?"

“Yes, specifically,” Ingram-Moore responded.

In an interview with Piers Morgan the issue of £800,000 worth of money the family said they earned was raised.

Colin Ingram-Moore said the family received 'not a penny' from money which was supposed to be for charity.

He said: "I was very specific right from day one that I had no access to the bank account. I had no signing powers."

"We have never, ever had a penny out of that."

Hannah Ingram-Moore said the money was 'not something that we want to talk about' as it was their own private finances.

The family said the majority of the £800,000 had come from 'products associated with' Captain Tom and they had kept most of it, with Colin calling it 'private income'.
