Sir Mo Farah was trafficked to the UK as a young child under a fake name and forced to work as a servant, he has revealed
He said: "If I wanted food in my mouth my job was to look after those kids, shower them, cook for them, clean for them, and she said, 'If you ever want to see your family again, don't say anything. If you say anything, they will take you away'.
Farah eventually told his PE teacher Alan Watkinson the truth and moved to live with his friend's mum, Kinsi, who "really took great care" of him and he ended up staying for seven years.
