A former soldier who changed his surname to 'Fu-Kennard' for a laugh has told how the joke has backfired – after he was denied a passport.
Kenny Fu-Kennard, 33, whose surname used to be Kennard, changed his name using a deed poll in 2016 and even got a driving license under his new moniker.

He said: "I'd decided to change my name to Fu-Kennard a few years back.
