Who You Don't See

Michael Jackson, Kendall Jenner, Rita Ora, Kate Moss and Bella Hadid - name an A-list celebrity and the chances are our guest this week has protected them - literally. For episode 9 of Who You Don’t See we’re joined by former celebrity bodyguard Simon Newton.

Show Notes

Simon recently quit the world of personal protection to chase a career in acting, but during his 17 years in security he worked with some of the worlds most famous names.

Despite looking a little intimidating when on duty, I can confirm Simon is a total joy and 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.
