What time is the Mo Farah documentary on TONIGHT, what TV channel is it on and can I live stream it?
MO FARAH has stunned the nation by revealing the true nature behind his journey to the UK as a child.
Farah told the BBC in a documentary that he came to Britain illegally as a nine-year-old without his family.
His father was killed in the civil war in Somaliland, just outside of Somalia where Farah was born.
Farah then came to the UK with a woman he did not know, under the false pretence that he was visiting family abroad.
In fact, the four-time Olympic champion was being moved to the UK to work as a child carer for a family he had no relation to.
Farah also revealed that his mother has never been to the UK, despite previously statements about the pair emigrating together when he was eight years old.
And in another shocking revelation, he told the world that Mo Farah wasn't his real name.
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 I was born in Somaliland, north of Somalia, as Hussein Abdi Kahin.
"Despite what I’ve said in the past, my parents never lived in the UK.
“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.
“So she told you don’t talk about anything otherwise I was in big trouble and I guess for me the only things that I could do, in my control was to run away from this was get out and run.
