Farah said, “Most people know me as Mo Farah, but it’s not my name or it’s not the reality.
“The real story is that I was born in Somaliland, north of Somalia, as Hussein Abdi Kahin.
“Despite what I have said in the past, my parents have never lived in the UK.
“I had all the contact details of my relative and once we got to her house the lady took it from me and right in front of me she tore them to pieces and put them in the bin and that’s when I knew I was in trouble was sitting.
“So she said don’t talk about anything or I’d be in big trouble and I think the only things I could do was run from this, run away and run.
