Between 2020 and 2021, Capt Sir Tom acted as a judge for the Virgin Media Local Legends Awards and was personally paid £10,000.

The following year, his daughter was approached to be a judge and signed an ambassador agreement with Virgin Media O2 while chief executive of the Captain Tom Foundation, for which she was paid £18,000.

The subsequent Virgin Media O2 Captain Tom Foundation Connector Awards included the charity’s logo on its awards plaque.

She had already been made interim chief executive at the charity, on an annual salary of £85,000.

However, the report said there was no record that she informed the charity trustees when she entered into the financial arrangement with Virgin Media.

The commission said it did not agree with Mrs Ingram-Moore’s assertion the work was undertaken in a personal capacity.

It found this created a conflict of interest, and her failure to avoid or manage this situation “amounted to misconduct and-or mismanagement”, adding this also meant the payment she received was an “unauthorised benefit” to her husband, who was a trustee at the time.
