Most people know me as Mo Farah, but it's not my name

Sir Mo Farah has revealed that his birth name is Hussein Abdi Kahin and that he was illegally brought to the UK as a young child.

Until now, Sir Mo has said he came to the UK as a refugee, with his parents. However, in a BBC documentary airing on Wednesday, he said that his father died during a civil war when he was four years old.

The Real Mo Farah will air on Wednesday 13 July from 06:00 BST on iPlayer and 21:00 on BBC One.
