Mark
Billingham spent 27 years in the SAS, fought in Iraq and won the Queen’s
Commendation for Bravery after capturing an IRA sniper by using himself as
bait.
But his toughest
gig was not on the battlefield it was guarding estranged Hollywood couple Brad
Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
Mark, known by his
nickname Billy, was their eyes and ears for 18 months and became so close to
their children he reckons he was their unofficial father.
Now he is entering
the world of showbiz as a new instructor for the UK Channel 4’s "SAS: Who
Dares Wins," which is back tonight.
He joins Anthony
Middleton, Jason Fox and Matthew Ollerton to put 25 civilians through an SAS selection
test in the Ecuadorian jungle.
It’s not for the
faint-hearted, and one thing is for certain: Brad Pitt should not
apply. Billy, 51, says:
“Brad wouldn’t last long because he wouldn’t have any cream to put on his face.
“It would be too
sweaty and uncomfortable for him. He’s too pretty!
