A former squaddie who changed his surname to 'Fu-Kennard' for a laugh has told how the joke has backfired - after he was denied a passport.

Kenny, 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.

But when his passport expired and he applied for a new one this year, his application was denied because his name "may cause offence".

The supermarket worker from Bude, Cornwall, has contested HM Passport Office's verdict three times - but the Home Office has refused to budge.

Keen traveller Kenny said he doesn't want to change his name again - so faces a life of UK holidays instead.

Give this 'gentleman' a passport and whilst he is abroad on holiday rescind it and his village can employ a replacement idiot.
