Olympic champion Mo Farah crowned Celebrity Dad of the Year

Mo Farah is named Celebrity Dad of the Year 2013 beating the likes of David Weir and David Beckham.

Olympic champion Mo Farah has been named as the Premier Inn Celebrity Dad of the Year 2013.

The 30-year-old, who won double gold at the London 2012 Olympic Games, is father to seven-year-old stepdaughter Rihanna and 10-month-old twins Aisha and Amani.

"Wow! It's really nice to get this award," said Farah. "My previous achievements have been mainly connected to my athletics but my family is very important to me, so to be recognised for being a good dad is just amazing.

"The best thing of all is that the award is voted for by members of the public, so a massive thank you to everyone who voted! This really has topped off a monumental year for me."

Farah topped the votes ahead of second-placed Gary Barlow and Peter Andre, who ranked in third, while Paralympic champion David Weir and former footballer David Beckham shared fourth spot.
