Ed Balls discussed his recent decision in a Ukrainian refugee family during this week's final edition of Good Morning Britain.
The former politician, 55, and his wife, Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, have provided shelter to a mum and her two daughters amid Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine leading to millions of Ukrainians fleeing their home country.
Ed's one-time Strictly Come Dancing partner, Russian-born Katya Jones, has even been giving the young girls living in the former politician's house.
