Patrick HillA former British bobby is now pounding a very different kind of beat… as pop star Britney Spears' new bodyguard.
Nina Hobson served as a police officer for 15 years in the UK before becoming a private security expert. And she is now busy making sure the Baby One More Time and Toxic singer is safe from harm. Nina, 53, who runs her own security company in America, recently did her duty for Britney in Las Vegas. And insiders say she is the chart-topper's No.1 bodyguard.
One said: "Nina was in charge, bossing the close protection guys around. She was the one in control. She did not speak to Britney, she just let Britney do her thing and be as 'normal' as possible. It was plainly Nina's job to keep her in a safe environment where she was comfortable just to be herself."

During her Vegas trip, Britney met up with her ex-fiance Jason Trawick. But Nina made sure not everybody got close to the star. Our source said: "She allowed a mom and her daughter – fans – to approach Britney for a selfie. But she didn't let any guys near her at all. "She plainly knew exactly what she was doing. She was very professional."
Nina, who joined the Leicestershire force in the 1980s when she was 19, received four commendations during her police career. As well as her stint as a bobby, she worked in CID and on major crime cases. But she left in the early 2000s to work as a journalist. Her documentary, Undercover Copper – an investigation into the police for Channel 4's Dispatches –received a Bafta nomination. And she starred in TV series Undercover Mum, which exposed individuals and organisations harming kids. She later moved to Perth, Australia, where she founded her security business before moving to the US.
Our source said: "She may have started out on the beat but these days, Nina is in demand with A-list celebrities and high net worth individuals."
