Having toured in the war zones of Iraq and Afghanistan with the British Armed Forces Simon Newton thought he had seen it all. 

That is, until he found himself trying to get Bella Hadid into a Paris Fashion Week show unscathed. 

A military man turned celebrity bodyguard, Simon has been trusted with protecting the lives of his comrades and a host of wealthy and A-list clients.  

Now, in an exclusive interview with MailOnline, Simon has revealed the secrets of his trade, including his interactions with Hollywood A-Listers and the clients he would refuse to accept. 

His foray into the exclusive celebrity bodyguard business came when he was assigned to a Close Protection Team in Afghanistan and Michael Jackson’s team reached out to ask after his services.
