SAS hero: Brad kids too tough

-

BRANGELINA’S ex-bodyguard Mark Billingham says looking after their kids was “tough”.

The SAS veteran went to work for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in 2006 after quitting the Army.

But he admitted looking after the superstar couple’s children left him worn out.

Mark, 51, said: “I was burnt out. I’d done it for 17 months. I needed a change.

“I very rarely had time off. The job was fantastic but it was too much.”

The former bodyguard – who has also worked for Tom Cruise and Clint Eastwood – said Brad was a great dad to Maddox, Zahara, Pax and Shiloh.

Twins Knox and Vivienne weren’t born until 2008.

Mark said: “I saw a good dad. I was surprised at how great he was.

“Little Pax was a hard nut, a terror to control, but Brad loved it.

“He really spent time with him trying to bring him round, discipline him – in a beautiful way.

“I never saw anything untoward.”

Mark lifts the lid on life working with the couple, who recently split, in SAS: Who Dares Wins tomorrow at 9pm on Channel 4. DOG walking has been banned or cut back in thousands of parks and open spaces in the past two years.

Kennel Club figures estimate that councils have moved to outlaw pets from at least 2,205 public places in England and Wales.

An RSPCA spokesman said: “Dogs must be allowed to interact.”
