Dad who ran off with Ukrainian refugee can't see kids as he insists 'I'm no monster'

A dad who left his wife for a Ukrainian refugee who was staying with the family says he is no longer allowed to see his kids - but denied being a "monster".

Tony Garnett, 29, hit the headlines when he walked out on partner Lorna, 28, for Sofiia Karkadym, 22, who had fled her home city of Lviv after Vladimir Putin's brutal invasion.

He told Yorkshire Live he now faces a torrent of online abuse every day, but said he and his new love are doing "brilliantly" together.
