Just 10 short days after his appearance on The Jeremy Kyle Show, Steve Dymond was found dead in a Portsmouth flat.
Subsequently, the programme was immediately pulled off the air with the possibility of being axed, while bosses took time to handle such a delicate issue and decide what the most appropriate outcome would be.
ITV have since confirmed that it is time to put an end to the popular show which had been secure on our screens for 14 years. “The Jeremy Kyle Show has had a loyal audience and has been made by a dedicated production team for 14 years, but now is the right time for the show to end.”
The incident has sparked a post-mortem investigation and a full inquest will be carried out within the next few days.
Despite what had happened on the show, Jane Callaghan added, “He was still my fiancé. I still loved him. As much as he was a pig to me I still loved him.”
