Man who left family for Ukrainian refugee wants to help on frontline of war-torn country

A dad who hit the headlines after leaving his partner and the mother of his children for a Ukrainian refugee has said he now wants to travel to the war-torn country to help people on the frontline.

Tony Garnett says he has been deeply affected by the war and claims he has seen "a lot more of the reality of what is going on" in Ukraine.

The 29-year-old left his partner Lorna, 28, for Sofiia Karkadym, 22, just ten days after she moved in with them as part of the government's refugee rehoming scheme.
