Sir Mo Farah has revealed he was "trafficked" into the UK illegally under the name of another child, saying he wants to tell his real story "whatever the cost".

The four-time Olympic champion told the BBC he was born Hussein Abdi Kahin, brought to the UK with a woman and her children under the name of another boy called Mohamed Farah.

Sir Mo said "the truth is I'm not who you think I am", as he spoke of the traumatic events of his childhood after leaving war-torn Somaliland in west Africa.

He was warned by a barrister that although he was trafficked into the country as a small child and told authorities the truth, there is a "real risk" that his British nationality could be taken away.

However, it is understood the Home Office will not be taking any action against Sir Mo.
