Olympian Sir Mo Farah was brought to the UK illegally as a child and forced to work as a domestic servant, he has revealed.

The athlete has told the BBC he was given the name Mohamed Farah by those who flew him over from Djibouti. His real name is Hussein Abdi Kahin.

He was flown over from the East African country aged nine by a woman he had never met, and then made to look after another family's children, he says.

In a documentary by the BBC and Red Bull Studios, Sir Mo recalls the moment he found out his family were still alive after years of no contact.
