Ukrainian refugee, 22, moves in with Yorkshire couple - 10 days later the dad leaves his girlfriend for her

A Yorkshire dad has left the mother of his two young children to be with a 22-year-old Ukrainian refugee that had only moved into the couple's home 10 days before.

Security guard Tony Garnett, 29, from Bradford, decided to leave his 28-year-old partner Lorna, for Sofiia Karkadym - a young Ukrainian woman who had moved into the couple's home after fleeing her hometown of Lviv.
