Darren Edwards left behind a successful career as a frontline police officer to become a leading expert in body language, deception detection, and influence. The media affectionately calls him the “Human Lie Detector.” He has gained recognition for assessing some of the biggest names in showbiz and politics, including political heavyweights like Hillary Clinton, David Cameron, Donald Trump, Tony Blair, and Gordon Brown.

As the Human Lie Detector, Darren is no stranger to the airwaves. He has been a guest on nearly every radio station in the UK. Some of his biggest interviews include live appearances on BBC Radio 5 Live with Stephen Nolan, fun segments with George Lamb, and debates during the Brexit campaign on LBC’s 97.3FM. Additionally, he is an accomplished journalist, having written for every major tabloid and broadsheet in the UK, as well as magazines like Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, and Heat. Darren has become the nation’s go-to expert on psychological matters.
Darren’s natural transition to television has led to regular appearances on ITV’s This Morning with Philip Schofield, Holly Willoughby, and Amanda Holden, as well as on BBC’s The One Show with Alex Jones and Matt Baker. He is also developing exciting television formats that showcase his unique skill set. In 2016, he began filming with ITV Studios for Season Two of Judge Rinder’s Crime Stories, set to air in 2017. On the show, Darren uses his expertise to analyze some of Britain’s most shocking crimes, with oversight from criminal barrister Robert Rinder.
