A coroner has ruled that The Jeremy Kyle Show’s treatment of Steve Dymond was not a “contributory factor” to his death.
Mr Dymond, from Portsmouth, Hampshire, took his own life seven days after filming for The Jeremy Kyle Show in May 2019.
The 63-year-old became “distraught” after he failed a lie detector test for the ITV show which he had taken in the hope of proving that he had not cheated on his fiancee Jane Callaghan, from Gosport.
A statement released after the inquest on behalf of Kyle said that he had been “exonerated” by the coroner’s ruling.
