The daughter of Captain Sir Tom Moore has appeared on ITV's This Morning in a bid to clear her name after being relentlessly trolled online.
Hannah Ingram-Moore told Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield rumours she was to be given a six-figure salary - 10% of the charity's first year profits - were wholly untrue.
It comes as the Captain Tom Foundation's accounts are investigated by the Charity Commission.

Hannah said she had borrowed money to the charity from her own business, which she then reclaimed at a later date.
Presenter Phillip Schofield said: "If any of [the allegations] prove to be true, then you've stuck your head way above the parapet and sat on our sofa here.
"You'll be found out."
Hannah replied: "100%. My father taught me... stand up, be counted and be accountable.
"We have never shied away from regulations.
"I would never be able to sit on here and tell you something that's not true.
"Our accounts are there to be seen. We're not hiding anything."
Captain Tom became a global icon during the pandemic, raising record-breaking amounts for NHS charities - some £39m in less than a month during the first lockdown.
Financial statements published by the Captain Tom Foundation last month show that between May 2020 and May last year it spent £400,637, after taking in more than £1million of charitable donations.
Around £240,000 of the £400,000 of outgoings were spent on fundraising and admin costs, and £162,336 of that was spent on management, while just £160,000 went to charitable grants.
Last month, Ms Ingram-Moore issued a statement after she and her family were "trolled" on social media.
She said: “It has been hurtful to my family and me to read allegations and slurs in social media and some parts of the press.
“We are disappointed with some of the coverage this matter has received and particularly by the way we have been 'trolled' on social media.
“Some of these baseless posts have been really hurtful and vile, and many have conflated the enormous amount raised by my father and paid directly to NHS charities, and money raised by the Captain Tom Foundation.
“Every penny from my father, Captain Tom Moore’s wonderful fundraising efforts – a sum well in excess of £38 million - was paid directly to NHS Charities Together in early 2020 and has been used by NHS Charities Together as they see fit.
“This is entirely separate from the foundation we subsequently set up at his express wish, The Captain Tom Foundation.”
