Mo Farah Crowned 'Celebrity Dad Of The Year'

Olympian Mo Farah has been crowned 'Celebrity Dad of the Year' 2013, according to Digital Spy.

The athlete, who took gold in the Men's 5k and 10k races at the 2012 London Olympics topped the poll after winning a public vote.

Farah, 30, is father to stepdaughter Rihanna, 7, and twin girls Aisha and Amani, who were born just weeks after last year's Games.

Speaking about his win, he said: "It's really nice to get this award. 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.
