Captain Tom's daughter joins TikTok: Disgraced offspring of NHS war hero touts herself as 'resilience coach' in new online venture
Hannah Ingram-Moore, 54, has started doling out motivational platitudes online on the social media platform, but not everyone has been impressed with her attempting a revamp.
Together with her husband, Colin, 68, the two have been mired in controversy ever since Captain Tom's 100-lap garden walk in 2020 raised £39million for NHS charities and earned him a knighthood
Later that year, his memoir, Tomorrow Will Be A Good Day, was published, where he wrote in the prologue that it was 'a chance to raise even more money for the charitable foundation now established in my name.'
Following Captain Tom's death in 2021, the couple were blasted when the charity watchdog uncovered 'repeated failures of governance and integrity', and found they had pocketed more than £1million in his name from links to the Captain Tom Foundation.
The couple even put charity money into building an unauthorised spa in their garden, which was later ordered to be demolished.
Now, with her credibility in tatters, Mrs Ingram-Moore has taken to TikTok in an apparent attempt to cleanse her image and rebrand herself, posting videos under the title 'Moore Moments'.
In these she delivers bite-sized motivational talks and explains how she's had to rise above the criticism and challenges she's faced.
In one of the videos, she said: 'It's Hannah with "Moore Moments".
'The last few years have tested me. The criticism, the judgement, the noise, but here is what I have learnt.
'Self-doubt gets louder when you're under pressure. Confidence that comes from keeping going quietly, consistently, even when people doubt you.
'You don't have to prove them wrong, you just have to believe in yourself and trust your truth.'
But critics aren't buying with many taking to the comments section to take aim at her, with one saying: 'You've absolutely no shame!!!'
Another one said: 'What are you doing, no one likes you'
Another added: 'Sounds like you have convinced yourself of your version of the "truth"...'
In another video shared on Father's Day, she said: 'Happy Father's Day to our fathers. The dads, the papas, the daddies, whoever they are to you.
'I hope you all had a wonderful day. And of course I miss my father who brought us so much joy but I remember the wonderful memories even today as the dogs that he knew that are still in our lives come running up to me and give me a kiss and a cuddle.
In another video, where she is standing in front of a picture of Captain Tom, she said: 'Hey everyone, we're busy here at the Captain Tom Foundation, planning for the Captain Tom Day, showing the power of connection to the generations and supporting our wonderful ageing population. Please follow us, please support us, love to you all.'
'We have been rescuing dogs for 20 years and they brought my father so much joy. I feel that every day. For all of you who are missing your father, I feel your pain. Let's remember the great things. With love.'
This triggered one user to blast her, saying: 'You have a cheek, poor captain Tom would be mortified knowing what it's been proven you have done with the money. RIP Captain Tom'
In another video, where she is standing in front of a picture of Captain Tom, she said: 'Hey everyone, we're busy here at the Captain Tom Foundation, planning for the Captain Tom Day, showing the power of connection to the generations and supporting our wonderful ageing population. Please follow us, please support us, love to you all.'
This quickly triggered a wave of comments, with one saying: 'Awful [you're] using his legacy to get rich the truth will out'
Another added: 'How many holidays this year?'
She also filmed a video where she is watching the Six Nations Wales V England.
She said: 'Here I am in Cardiff. Wales - England. England leading eight points nil. But you know what the Welsh can do. Lets see'
In January, they erased the walking veteran's name from the charity set up in his honour.
And they've faced money troubles ever since, with the price of their Bedfordshire family home, where Captain Tom completed his famous walk, slashed three times from £2.25million to £1.95million, as they desperately try to sell it
A critical report published by the Charity Commission in November last year found that the Ingram-Moores benefited 'significantly' through their association with the high-profile Captain Tom Foundation and were guilty of 'serious and repeated' instances of misconduct, mismanagement and failures of integrity - among them the book deal.
The public had been 'misled', said the damning report, when buying items they thought would benefit the Captain Tom Foundation, which was set up in May 2020 to carry on raising money for charity after the success of his sponsored walk.
Questions were first raised in February 2022 when it was reported that £240,000 of the charity's £400,000 expenditure went on fundraising and admin costs and £50,000 of 'reimbursed expenditure' was paid to companies controlled by the Ingram-Moores.
The Charity Commission was told that the £1.47 million book advance was paid to Club Nook, the private company set up by the couple in April 2020.
Only £18,000 - £1 a copy from sales of the first book - went to the charity.
Accounts for Club Nook filed with Companies House showed that their financial fortunes had also collapsed. It has net current assets of just £149. The previous year this figure stood at £336,300.
Meanwhile, in accounts to April 2024, the company owes creditors £67,000. Its liabilities are recorded as standing at £19,246 net, where in the year to April 2023 they stood at £106,104 in the black.
In 2022, she and her husband refused a request by the Charity Commission to 'honour the commitment' made by Captain Tom in his foreword.
They were twice asked to 'rectify matters by making a donation to the charity' but declined both times.
The Commission produced a 30 page report said that Mrs Ingram Moore had been 'disingenuous' in her denials of personal benefit. She was paid £85,000 a year as CEO of the charity before stepping down.
The Ingram-Moores released a statement accusing the charity watchdog of a 'predetermined agenda' and of 'unfairly tarnishing' their name.
The Ingram-Moores further sparked fury when in August 2021 they used the charity's name to apply for planning permission for an indoor swimming pool building in the grounds of the family's Grade II-listed home.
Initially approved by Central Bedfordshire council, largely because of its supposed charitable purposes, the family went on to build a larger structure, containing a pool, spa, kitchen and toilets.
They removed references to Captain Tom in a retrospective application for the changed structure, later telling the Charity Commission inquiry that its original inclusion was 'an error' and that they were both distracted because they were 'busy undertaking global media work'.
They were later ordered to remove the complex, which was demolished in February 2023.

We want our girls to do Love Island – reality TV is family business, says Katie Price & Kerry Katona revealing new gig
THERE was no more glorious time for showbiz than the late Nineties – just ask Katie Price and Kerry Katona. They've been queens of the scene for nearly 30 years, forged in the fire of the Chinawhite club, lads' mags and cheesy pop. 6 6 So while big nights together might now involve a takeaway and a crime documentary, they hanker after those halcyon days when being famous was fun, and showbiz parties didn't mean dodging influencers there solely to capture their 'content'. Kerry, 44, said: 'That's when pop stars and celebrities were proper celebrities! It's not like that now. 'I think me and Kate are like the two originals who are left.' Katie, 47, adds: 'I think we are. You're just sitting there and thinking, who's still going? There isn't anyone from back in those days. But that was the best time of my life!' Kerry chimes in: 'And mine. But there's no picture of me falling out of a nightclub!' Katie laughs: 'There was of me.' After they burst into the spotlight in the late 1990s, the two have remained best pals, sticking together through six husbands, ten kids, all the scandal and all the drama. They finish each other's sentences, I can't get a word in edgeways ('You won't need those questions, love,' Kerry trills) and they cackle, constantly. Grinning as she remembers those early days when she first made it big as The Sun's Page Three queen, Katie goes on: 'London is so different now. A Katie/Kerry sandwich 'We knew that back in the day, Chinawhite, Wednesday; Saturdays, Emporium; and Twice As Nice on a Sunday. Oh my God, I'm smiling because I look back at them days, the music, everything. Kerry Katona admits she 'didn't like' close pal Katie Price's Jordan alter-ego as she reveals she persuaded her to do OnlyFans 'It was just . . . you'd be excited to go out. Now I don't go to events unless I'm being paid to be there.' Kerry agrees: 'Unless you pay me to go, I wouldn't go.' And, believe it or not, they still get paid handsomely to do so. Despite more than their fair share of headlines, these girls remain showbiz royalty and can still book out a venue — which is what finds me snuggled up on a sofa, in a Katie and Kerry sandwich. Across 33 dates, they're taking An Evening with Katie Price And Kerry Katona on the road this autumn. More on that later but why, I wonder, do they reckon they've still got fans gagging for more? The thing is, with me and Kerry, we didn't map out what our lives would be. We didn't know we'd still be here 30 years on Katie Price Kerry said: 'We are relatable. That's why we're still here, because we have been through sh*t. And there's not many people in this industry who are authentic. 'We weren't like nine-year-old little girls going, 'When I grow up, I want to get married three times, I want to have five children, to three different men' but that is life.' Katie adds: 'The thing is, with me and Kerry, we didn't map out what our lives would be. We didn't know we'd still be here 30 years on. And not many people we started out with are still here — so we must be here for a reason.' With another cackle, Kerry adds: 'I think it's because of our new tt jobs.' Their baggy tops can't hide the fact both are sporting fresh and perky new assets, but there was a time when both of the surgery-loving ladies were considered natural beauties. They met in the early days, but grew inseparable after their shared stint on I'm A Celebrity in 2004. It makes them each other's most successful relationship, I venture. Kerry said: 'We've got lots of love for each other. I know I could tell Kate anything and it wouldn't go anywhere else. 'I can go three months and not speak to Kate and just pick up where we left. Because that's the real thing. 'You don't have to be on a phone with each other 24 hours a day. That's a real friendship. There are things nobody knows anything about I have told Kate, and Kate has told me things, and it goes no further.' Kerry married Westlife star Brian McFadden in 2002, Mark Croft in 2007 and George Kay in 2014. Katie's first was Peter Andre in 2005 — with Kerry as a bridesmaid — then Alex Reid in 2010 and Kieran Hayler in 2013. Maybe they should just commit to each other, I muse. Kerry laughs: 'We said that! We might as well!' 6 Katie adds: 'We actually did say that. We said we could do a wedding programme where we're marrying each other.' It's probably no surprise that sources have suggested they'd once enjoyed a romantic relationship. The double act trill: 'What are those sources? HP and ketchup!' Kerry adds: 'Oh please. Seriously. Silly! But there's love there isn't there Kate?' Katie said: 'There's always going to be love there.' It's even easier to hang out now that their daughters, Katie's Princess and Kerry's Heidi, both 18, are also best mates. The 'momagers' have got big hopes for their girls — and scoff at any claims of nepotism. Kerry said: 'I'm desperate for Princess and Heidi to do the Jungle together. Imagine. 'I can see it in her eyes' Katie added: 'I always say Love Island. Heidi and Princess need to do it together.' Kerry said: 'The way I see it is, forget management, forget fame, what an amazing memory. What an amazing adventure. 'So I think if Heidi goes to Love Island for three months and has the best time then that's amazing. This is our family business. This is what we do as a family Kerry Katona 'Both me and Kate have done every reality show. 'We are the reality queens. We're part of TV history. When we did I'm A Celebrity, the ratings were the highest they ever had. And we're a part of that. 'Everyone talks about nepotism right, but everyone has a contact for somebody. I can open a door for you. Whether you get through that door and you stay through it, that's on your own f*cking merit. 'You don't see Brooklyn Beckham playing f*cking football, because he's sh*t. 'This is our family business. This is what we do as a family. 'And between the pair of us, we do have an orphanage to feed.' As well as Heidi, Kerry has a son, Maxwell, 17, with Croft. Then there is Molly, 23, and Lilly-Sue, 22, with McFadden and DJ, 11 with Kay. Katie has Princess and Junior, 20, with Andre, Harvey, 23, with footballer Dwight Yorke and Jett, 11, and Bunny, ten, with Hayler. 6 6 Katie says: 'Quite often if I need to remember something I think, let me Google it. If I have to fill out a form and do the kids' dates of births, I Google it.' I'm getting a front row seat to the kinds of banter fans can expect from the brand new tour, conceived after the success of their double act as the stepsisters in adult panto Cinderella. They promise this production will be a little more sophisticated though — unless Jordan comes out to play. Kerry said: 'With Kate, I can see the alter ego change, when she goes from Kate to being Jordan I can see it in her eyes. 'Sometimes I have to go, get back in your box.' Katie said: 'She gets embarrassed! Like when we did adult panto, she can't bear it! You'd think that with her Only Fans, Kerry would be quite cool with it.' Both me and Kate, we've done the drugs, we've done the bankruptcy, we've done the divorces, we have lost so much. We are still here. This is resilience Kerry Katona Kerry said: 'At the adult panto, I saw the alter ego arrive and I thought, I'm f*cked here. And I literally ended up going in the wings, and I was so bright red. 'She was in her element, and I'm like, oh my God, I'm going to die.' The girls have written the show themselves and this time it's all about them. Kerry explains: 'It's about mental health. It's about struggles. It's about how you got through it. You know, I'm more than happy to talk about heartbreak, but we're not doing exes. 'Both me and Kate, we've done the drugs, we've done the bankruptcy, we've done the divorces, we have lost so much. We are still here. This is resilience. 'Women, we do not lift each other up enough. No one's prepared to straighten each other's crown, and that's what me and Kate do for each other. That is what this tour is about.' With Kate, I can see the alter ego change, when she goes from Kate to being Jordan I can see it in her eyes Kerry Katona Katie adds: 'And how it's changed us as people. I don't like to say I'm glad I've gone through it, but it's made me who I am today, and that is a lot more happy. I'm in the best place I've ever been.' It wouldn't be a tour with these two without them belting out some ballads, and they've even promised some dancing. Maybe things haven't changed that much from nights in Chinawhite, after all. Katie said: 'The thing is, I don't know what it's like to have a nine- to-five job, getting on the train, working in an office. I have no idea what that life would be. I've been doing it from such a young age.' Kerry added: 'We do it 24 hours every day. We are badass boss bitches. We run our own sh*t and we are creating this ourselves.' Cheers to the next 30 years. 6

Next Bond movie will be written by Oscar nominated filmmaker behind iconic TV show
THE brains behind smash hit show Peaky Blinders has been signed up to write the next James Bond film – and he is promising to make it 'better, stronger and bolder'. Diehard fans of the suave spy had feared Bond would lose its identity after Amazon bought the franchise for $1billion in February. 2 2 But with 65-year-old Brummie Steven Knight at the helm, 007 expert Matthew Field says it is proof its British heritage will be preserved. He told The Sun: 'Amazon could easily have hired an A-list US writer but they chose Knight, a truly great British writer, who understands Bond's importance. 'He has a solid pedigree in film and TV that spans more than 25 years so it will be really exciting to see his world of Bond for a whole new generation of fans.' It is a job that Steven, who also wrote SAS: Rogue Heroes and co-created Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, says was always on his bucket list. Mega signing The youngest of seven children, he was raised by dad George, a blacksmith, and mum Ida, a bookie's runner. He has spoken about how gangster series Peaky Blinders, set in 1920s Small Heath, near Solihull in his home city, was inspired by tales of his dad's gangster uncles and his mum's work. The BBC drama ran for six series from 2013 to 2022, helping to attract record numbers of tourists to England's second city. The final outing became the BBC iPlayer's most streamed series of the year and the show is credited with seeing a resurgence in popularity for the names Arthur and Aida. Soldiers in Ukraine have even adopted the name Peaky Blinders for one of their military units. Married dad-of-seven Steven is a mega signing for Bond alongside Dune director Denis Villeneuve and producers David Heyman and Amy Pascal, known for the Harry Potter and Spider-Man films respectively. Brit acting legend admits he wants to play James Bond saying 'the world's gone crazy' if Amazon casts a US star for 007 Matthew says: 'It's a great collection of creative minds reinventing Bond. It's in really safe hands.' Before screenwriting, Steven trained as a blacksmith but admitted: 'I was useless at it.' After studying English at university, he wrote radio commercials, jingles and promotional game concepts for Capital FM under then-breakfast host Chris Tarrant in the Nineties. One game he developed was Cash Mountain, where players would be able to win an unlimited amount of money answering infinite, increasingly impossible questions until they got one wrong. However, he said: 'No one would insure that just in case, so we had to think of a limit, so we thought, well, a million, why not?' That concept became Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, which peaked at 19.2million viewers per episode and was adapted for around 100 countries. The success of the game show freed Steven to write what he wanted. When the 2022 Commonwealth Games came to Birmingham, he was an obvious choice to co-direct the opening ceremony. The industrial revolution-inspired show featured Sir Lenny Henry, UB40, Duran Duran, Ozzy Osbourne and a 33ft mechanical bull. Two years earlier, he received a CBE for services to drama and the community in Birmingham. He said he planned to celebrate 'Tommy Shelby-style' in reference to the main Peaky Blinders character and his love of whisky and cigarettes. Now the creative force behind Bond, he told BBC Radio 5 Live: 'I'm hoping that, being a Bond fan for so many years, it'll be imbued into me and I'll be able to produce something that's the same but different, and better, stronger and bolder.'
