Celebrity bodyguard Simon Newton
Celebrity bodyguard Simon Newton reveals what it's like protecting top supermodels.
Name an A-list celebrity and the chances are our guest this week has protected them. For episode 9 of Who You Don’t See we’re joined by former celebrity bodyguard Simon Newton. During his 17 years in security, he worked with some of the world's most famous names, from Michael Jackson to Kendall Jenner. Despite looking a little intimidating on duty, I can confirm Simon is really very friendly - over Zoom we covered all sorts… from the planning that goes into a body guard shift, why his dress sense landed him a profile piece in Vogue Magazine and why you can be a security guard even if you're 5'4. To keep up to date with Simon follow his Instagram @simon.newton. And to keep up with the latest podcast episodes, I’m over at: @meg_lawton.
