The host - 30-year-old security guard Tony Garnett - left his wife and children for 22-year old Sofia Karkadym after knowing her a mere 10 days. Their summer of love, however, ended abruptly, as Tony dumped her by September, saying the young woman was mentally unstable and prone to drunken fits, starting fights and showing extreme jealousy towards his daughters.
And yet, it seems that the love story is far from over.
According to tabloids, Garnett revived his relationship with Ukrainian refugee Karkadym after dumping her in September. In fact, he traveled to Ukraine (since Karkadym returned to the country after her visa expired) to meet his ex and bring her back to the UK.
“I went to Ukraine and brought her back. It was not a great place to be,” Garnett explained. “There were regular power cuts, and the Russians fired about missiles at Lvov when I was there. Luckily, the Ukrainian defense systems intercepted them," he claimed.
The Briton visited her Sofia's home village near Lvov, and took her back, with the couple deciding to move to Yorkshire, England.
“I knew that it was very tough for her leaving her family and her country and arriving in Bradford, and drink was something she turned to," he noted. "I think we can make this work. She's a really attractive woman and always has interesting stuff to talk about. I want to know her much better and this time we will take things slower."
In the meantime, Garnett's former partner and mother of his two children Lorna told the press she is “not a big fan” of her ex.
“I am surprised they are back as a couple. But they deserve each other as far as I am concerned," she said.
