ITV under fire as it's revealed Jeremy Kyle guest, 62, who 'killed himself'

A grandfather was found dead after being 'humiliated and traumatised' on The Jeremy Kyle Show just three months after being diagnosed with depression, according to his ex-fiancée. 

Steven Dymond, 62, died in a suspected suicide one week after failing a lie detector test while filming an episode of the controversial ITV daytime chat show, which he had gone on with his on-and-off girlfriend Jane Callaghan. 

Meanwhile it also emerged there was a warrant out for his arrest after he failed to appear in court in February over more than £4,300 in fines dating back to 1997. 

Mr Dymond is said to have been left devastated and suicidal after being confronted in the TV studio at MediaCity in Salford about allegations of infidelity.

Miss Callaghan said Mr Dymond was determined to go in front of the cameras despite health fears and had a doctor's letter confirming he was OK to appear.


 He had been diagnosed with depression for the first time in February - the same month when he was due to attend Southampton Magistrates' Court - when their relationship broke down, and was prescribed anti-depressants, Miss Callaghan said.

On March 17, he shared a Facebook post from Mental Health Prime saying: 'So many suffer alone. Let's send love today to every person who is battling depression.'
