Tony Garnett dumped his partner of eight years Lorna and ran off with the Ukrainian refugee the couple had welcomed in their Bradford home.

But she said that changed after 5pm when Tony was due to come home. But sadly I was right all along,’ she said. Reflecting on the situation, Lorna said it was a major decision to let a stranger in the family home, but the situation in Ukraine was so terrifying, she decided it was the right thing to do.

A MUM has been left heartbroken after her partner of eight years ran off with a Ukrainian refugee the pair invited into their home.

Tony, who said he’s “head over heels” for Sofiia, has apologised for the heartbreak, adding: “We’re sorry for the pain we’ve caused but I’ve discovered a connection with Sofiia like I’ve never had before. This is a crisis in Ukraine and people like me will want to have the heart to help those in need. She said as they’d been a little touchy feely and she didn’t like the look of it. Sofiia had fled to the western Ukrainian city of Lviv, and accepted Tony’s offer on social media to move into the home after he ditched the government scheme due to the “pace of progress.” A neighbour had warned Lorna of the seemingly growing bond between Tony and Sofiia, adding: “My neighbour came over to see me and said she was concerned. But after looking into the scheme, Ms Garnett came around to the idea and invited Sofiia Karkadym, 22, to move into their family home in Bradford, West Yorks, where they live with their two children.

Lorna Garnett said she had reservations but became more concerned when their new housemate began wearing 'low cut tops and red lipstick' around the house.
