London's Metropolitan Police have opened an investigation after British Olympic great Mo Farah made stunning revelations he was illegally trafficked into Britain as a child.

The 39-year-old Somalia-born athlete - who won double Olympic gold (5,000m and 10,000m) for his adopted country at both the 2012 and 2016 Games - revealed in a BBC documentary this week his real name is Hussein Abdi Kahin.

He said he was forced to work in domestic servitude after entering the country aged eight or nine.
