Sir Mo revealed his father was killed in the Somalia civil war and he was separated from his mum before being illegally trafficked to the UK
Sir Mo Farah was illegally smuggled into the UK as a 9-year-old under another name, according to a new candid BBC documentary called The Real Mo Farah. The four-time Olympic champion revealed his name belongs to another child and he was brought into the UK illegally under it .
“Despite what I’ve said in the past, my parents never lived in the UK. When I was four my dad was killed in the civil war, you know as a family we were torn apart. I was separated from my mother, and I was brought into the UK illegally under the name of another child called Mohamed Farah.” “I’ve been keeping it for so long, it’s been difficult because you don’t want to face it and often my kids ask questions, ‘dad, how come this?’ And you’ve always got an answer for everything, but you haven’t got an answer for that. That’s the main reason in telling my story because I want to feel normal and... don’t feel like you’re holding on to something.”
He said: “I had all the contact details for my relative and once we got to her house, the lady took it off me and right in front of me ripped them up and put it in the bin and at that moment I knew I was in trouble.”
