Horizon scandal victim uses Brits appearance to urge faster compensation

Jo Hamilton presented a music award alongside Monica Dolan, who portrayed her in Mr Bates vs The Post Office

A former sub-post office operator has used an appearance at the Brit Awards to urge the speeding-up of compensation for those unfairly prosecuted as part of the Post Office IT scandal.

Jo Hamilton made her appeal alongside the actor Monica Dolan, who portrayed her in ITV's hit dramatisation of the episode, Mr Bates vs The Post Office. The pair were presenting the first category of the evening at the O2 Arena in London.
