Ukraine, including a recently-born baby. However the former Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? host has also expressed his frustration at the red tape put in place by the British government blocking those keen to help.Chris has denounced Russian President Vladimir Putin, who claimed he ordered the Russian invasion in a bid to "de-Nazify" Ukraine, and blasted that he is "worse than Hitler".He has now offered three people a home for as long as they'd like to stay, and has refused to accept any cash incentive for doing so.The TV host delighted in the arrival of the refugees, revealing that the new mother he has taken in is able to converse in English, while the baby talks in "Ukrainian gurgles".Chris is less keen on the way the government has organised the system for welcoming refugees, however."People are desperate to get into this country and they can’t get through all that red tape," he mused, revealing that the family he'd taken in had been forced to sleep on airport floors in their urgency to get away from the conflict.It was revealed that though 150,000 Brits registered their interest in homing refugees, only 6,000 have so far arrived.Home Secretary Priti Patel was recently compelled to apologise for the hiccups involved in Britain's Homes For Ukraine scheme, admitting it had been "a victim of its own popularity".However Chris commented that he's been able to bypass some of the rules."We sort of managed to short-cut all that," he explained to The Sun."You can take money every week to take them, [but] I don’t want any of that - I just want to look after these people."The mother who he and Jane Bird have taken into their Berkshire home has an especially tragic story as she has been ripped away from her husband, just nine.
