Richard Madden’s Bodyguard protects the Red Nose in latest assignment

The UK’s most famous bodyguard, David Budd (Richard Madden), has been assigned to protect the Red Nose in this special picture released by the BBC today.

Madden, who thrilled audiences last year in the BBC One smash-hit Bodyguard, has since been regularly speculated on as the next James Bond and on Sunday night was seen looking suitably attired in a tux when he appeared on the EE BAFTA red carpet where he spoke to fans and signed autographs.

Red Nose Day 2019 will air on BBC One on Friday 15 March.
