Viewers of ITV’s Good Morning Britain have praised Rob Rinder’s grilling of Captain Tom Moore’s daughter, hailing the interview as one of the “greatest of all time”
Good Morning Britain viewers have hailed Rob Rinder’s brutal questioning of Captain Tom Moore’s daughter as one of the show’s “greatest interviews of all time,” as the pair clashed over the Charity Commission’s report into her father’s foundation.
Hannah Ingram-Moore appeared on Good Morning Britain today after the commission found that she had mismanaged her father’s foundation and personally benefitted from his charity, which raised nearly £40 million. Rob Rinder and Kate Garraway grilled Hannah on how she had signed contracts for three books on her father Captain Tom Moore’s behalf, before Rob asked if she had any shame.
Viewers took to social media to compliment Rob on his brutal interview technique, with one writing: “Well done @RobbieRinder for ‘grilling’ Hannah, I still believe that her and her husband took full advantage of what Captain Sir Tom Moore did. i have no sympathy for her.” Another wrote: “Excellent interview go @JudgeRinderTV very clear and professional …more of him please.”

A third said on X: “Wow @RobbieRinder what an interview! Your look of disdain at the end was priceless. Fantastic example of holding someone to account. Best interview I’ve seen!” A fourth even called it the greatest TV interview they had ever seen.
“Rob Rinder grilling Hannah Ingram-Moore might be the greatest TV of all time. No idea why she’d agree to this,” they wrote.
Hannah was a director of the Captain Tom Foundation alongside now former trustee Colin Ingram-Moore, in honour of her father Captain Tom Moore, who passed away in 2021.

However the Charity Commission found that the pair had a “pattern of behaviour” which personally benefited them repeatedly. The commission’s report stated that the family refused to donate any of the £1.47 million raised from Captain Tom Moore’s three books, despite assurances that they would.
Hannah appeared on the programme to speak about her new book on grief, opening up about her mother’s “very long slow death from dementia” which resulted in her father moving in with them. However, when asked about Captain Tom’s three books, Hannah stated that she never said that the sales would go to charity.
“He signed that contract with Penguin Random House and I signed to say where the money was going on his behalf. He was alive and he decided. It never said anywhere that sales would go to the charity, not us. We agreed it would go to support the launch of the charity and money from the book revenue did support the charity,” she said.
In response to whether she felt any shame, she replied: “When I look back at the last five years, we know that we own the truth and what I can’t do is sit here and persuade everyone to believe our reality.”
