Calls to a trafficking charity's helpline increased after Sir Mo Farah revealed that he had been brought to the UK illegally as a child.
The charity's director Justine Carter said some callers specifically said Sir Mo had inspired them to reach out.Speaking to a documentary made by BBC and Red Bull Studios, he said he was flown to the UK by a woman he didn't know, and given a name - Mohamed Farah - which belonged to another boy.
Sir Mo said he was made to do housework and childcare at the woman's flat in west London, and that she told him: "If you ever want to see your family again, don't say anything."
