Upset Lorraine Kelly ‘let down’ by Captain Tom’s family after they admit pocketing book funds

Lorraine Kelly admitted she “felt let down” on Captain Tom’s behalf, after it was revealed his family pocketed a reported £800,000 from the sale of his books.

The television presenter shared a trailer of Captain Tom’s family’s interview with Piers Morgan on TalkTV which airs on Thursday night.

Lorraine said: “She (his daughter) talks about some of the controversies that have surrounded the money raised in his name, including how the family kepr £800,000 from the books Captain Tom wrote before he died.

“They say he wanted the family to keep the profits, it will be interesting to tune into that. I am sure I am not the only one that just feels a bit let down on his behalf. Do you know what I mean?”
