‘VICTIM’ SHAME
I’m a body language expert – sign Captain Tom’s daughter thinks she’s a VICTIM after pocketing cash
CAPTAIN Tom's daughter "believes she's a victim" after pocketing money from his fundraising efforts, a body language expert has said.
Hannah Ingram-Moore was in tears as she revealed the veteran's family had kept £800,000 from the three books he had written.

She made the admission during a bombshell interview at her family's £1.2million Bedfordshire mansion for TalkTV's Piers Morgan Uncensored.
She sobbed as she insisted Sir Tom had wanted them to keep the book profits.
Author and body language specialist Judi James explained that, while the tears were genuine, but questioned the reasoning behind them.
She said: "Is Hannah faking the tears here? No. Her eyes fill with them at the mention of her dad and we can see her hand mopping them away.

"They appear after an interesting question in this trailer though, not about the funds but about ‘What would Captain Tom think?’.
"She tells Piers he would be ‘utterly devastated.’ But this is a non-specific answer.
"Would he be devastated about the funds or about her current predicament and the way she appears to feel like a victim herself for what she is going through right now?"
Hannah also expresses "regret" over the decision to build the controversial spa and pool complex in the name of her dad's charity.

She and husband Colin had told planners they wanted an office for the charity.
But they instead built a poolhouse with changing rooms, toilets and showers.
Ms James adds: "When Pier’s questions are more specific her eyes are clear of tears and flick to diagonals to create the impression of reflective thinking and evaluation.
"Asked about the spa pool she clamps her lips and pulls them down at the corners while her eyes go downward diagonally, suggesting she is either considering decisions there and then or considering her words.
"When Piers asks why she is being reluctant, her lips purse. She seems to swallow or to clear her throat as though prepping to speak.
"Again the reflective diagonal with the eyes before she looks up."
The full interview, which airs at 8pm on Thursday evening, also delves into how Hannah was paid £18,000 to attend the Virgin Media O2 Captain Tom Foundation Connector Awards in 2021.
But she donated just £2,000 of the sum to his charity.
At the time, she was already receiving a handsome annual salary of £85,000 pro-rata as its chief executive.
