A former boss of disgraced payday loan firm Wonga has reportedly ditched his wife for a Ukrainian refugee.

Investor and dotcom entrepreneur Haakon Overli, 52, is said to have begun a love affair with the Eastern European woman after taking her into the family home in Surrey following the Russian invasion.

But the married millionaire apparently left his wife Imogen Overli, an orchestra chairwoman, and moved in with his mistress, according to The Sun.

Mr Overli is said to have lobbied the government to help bring refugees to the UK from Ukraine.

He is also reported to have began weeks of lobbying Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Home Secretary Priti Patel in March to speed up the process of bringing his now girlfriend to Britain.
