British father-of-two Tony Garnett told Sofiia Karkadym, 22, there was no chance they would ever be a couple again and he was keen to 'move on in with my life'.

'Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind. She'll be much better off in Ukraine or if she gets a new relationship, good luck to her.'
Sofiia said she would not give up on Tony despite his rejection of her.
