George Michael's ex Fadi Fawaz has hired a celebrity bodyguard following star's death

It has been reported that Fadi Fawaz, the boyfriend of late singer George Michael, has hired a celebrity bodyguard following the star’s death.

The 43-year-old hairdresser apparently met with Karl Warren, the owner of firm Warlite security, after finding George’s body on Christmas Day last year.

The pair had been in an on/off relationship since 2012.

Fadi hasn’t publicly commented on his new security, with a source telling The Sun that it was like he “didn’t want to be seen” with Karl, however, Karl has been very supportive of Fadi on social media.

In one message, Karl wrote: “Don’t listen to these nasty evil people. If they had any love and respect for George they would leave you alone. They’re ignorant.”

Fadi’s decision to hire security comes after George’s cousin slammed the hairdresser, claiming that he was “suspicious” of the circumstances surrounding his cousin’s death.

Writing on Facebook, Andros Georgiou ranted: “I have been trying to hold back on this tweet I saw nearly 10 days ago but the more I am reading and the more I am finding out about Fadi I just can’t keep my mouth shut any longer.

“No. 1 he was never with Yog [George] 24 hours a day they never lived together he lived in one of Yog’s houses in Regents Park? And even if they were, WHY were they not together on Christmas Eve? and WHY did he sleep in the car? Too many questions have come up.

“One thing is for sure this was not an act of suicide. He should of been looked after by his so called friends!

“If I was around this would never of happened and I have to live with that the rest of my life I am so very sad as I am sure you all are as well, I have to pray that the police come to the conclusion I have and justice will be served.”

Fadi was previously criticised for taking to Twitter immediately after George’s death to share his grief, later deactivating his account after he was allegedly hacked and messages claiming that George had attempted suicide many times before were posted to his page.
