Comment: Need in-depth coverage about him, not interviews or what he has said. Trivial mentions like in The Guardian are not useful for establishing notability. If resubmitted without substantial improvement, the draft may be rejected meaning it will no longer be considered. S0091 (talk) 14:56, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Simon Boyle (born 1987 in Liverpool, England) is a British newspaper journalist, columnist and regular broadcaster on TV and radio.
He has edited The Sun newspaper's Bizarre showbiz column.[1] since 2018, following predecessors including Piers Morgan, Victoria Newton, Dan Wootton and Gordon Smart in the role, and is also Executive Showbiz Editor at the title.
His reporting featured heavily in the Rebekah Vardy v Coleen Rooney High Court libel trial dubbed Wagatha Christie by the tabloid media, and Boyle appeared in several documentaries detailing the case on the BBC and Disney+, and on Radio 4's Media Show[2] where he discussed his role in the stories at the heart of the dispute - many of which carried his byline.
He successfully defended attempts by Coleen Rooney to force him to give evidence at the high profile trial, after Mrs Rooney previously told judge Mrs Justice Steyn he enjoyed an "extremely close relationship" with Mrs Vardy. A failure to successfully defend his position would have seen significant new precedents set regarding the confidentiality of journalistic sources[3].
In 2019, he revealed that a guest on the long-running daytime show The Jeremy Kyle Show, hosted by Jeremy Kyle, had committed suicide shortly after recording his appearance on the show. ITV suspended production of the series immediately after the revelations, and later announced that the show would be ended permanently.[4] TV host Kyle subsequently gave two interviews to Boyle in which he described his “utter devastation” at learning of Steve Dymond’s death but also went on to later defend the chat show’s production team and standards.
In 2023 Scottish singer Lewis Capaldi revealed his battle with Tourette's syndrome in an interview with Boyle[5], before later taking a break from live performances following his appearance at Glastonbury Festival.
In 2012 he was successfully sued by the comedian Frankie Boyle who won damages of £54,000 from Mirror Group Newspapers over an article which incorrectly labelled him a "racist comedian"[6].
Awards and nominations
Boyle was named Showbiz Reporter of the Year[7] at the British Press Awards in 2020, having been nominated for the same award by the Society of Editors on three other occasions.
In 2010 he was named Young Journalist of the Year by the National Association of Press Agencies[8]
He has previously written for the Mail On Sunday, Daily Mirror and Sunday Mirror newspapers.
