Steve Dymond, from Portsmouth, Hampshire, is suspected to have taken his own life seven days after filming for the controversial programme in May 2019.
The Samaritans can be contacted on 116123 or email jo@samaritans.orgA Jeremy Kyle guest who died in a suspected suicide after failing a live detector test 'pushed and pushed' to appear on the show to prove to his fiancee that he never cheated on her, his inquest heard today.
Construction worker Steve Dymond, pictured, died in 2019 after appearing on the show. He's seen with his fiancée, Jane Callaghan 'He was just saying, begging me saying it was wrong it's not right, it's not the truth, it's wrong, it's wrong,' Ms Callaghan said. 'I wasn't communicating with him really,' she went on. 'After that I just wanted him out of my life.'
'I think Steve phoned them quite a few times. every day. 20 minutes on the phone, then five minutes later they would call again and it would be half an hour. It just went like that. Mr Dymond and Ms Callaghan had broken up in February in 2019 after she accused the construction worker of cheating. Opening the five-day hearing, senior coroner for Hampshire Jason Pegg said it is not the purpose of the inquest to 'apportion civil or criminal liability or blame to any person' and that 'nobody is on trial'.It was heard Mr Pegg will consider Mr Dymond's participation in the show and his reaction to the lie detector test, but will not address 'broader systemic issues of participation in reality TV' and 'family and victim support after the death'.
Giving evidence at the hearing, Mr Woolley said he didn't have a 'great deal of contact' with his father until his uncle Leslie - Mr Dymond's brother - called him following the show. Mr Woolley said his father told him 'Jeremy Kyle had got the crowd to egg on, to boo at him and stuff, and he was cast as a liar before he had even spoken.'
Mr Woolley said it was his opinion that the show existed for 'good TV' for people to go on to be made an 'idiot' of. Mr Woolley also said his father said he had been 'thrown under a bus' on the show as the crowd booed him.'He told me he was made out to be the baddie and that no one had given him a chance to put his point across and that Jeremy Kyle was constantly on him. He said he felt he was thrown under a bus.'
Mr Sheldon KC said: 'On the evening of May 2, which was the appearance on the show, she says that you told her she should get as far away from Steve as you could and you told her Steve was no good and asked for her phone number.' His statement continued: 'We did talk about what support Stephen was getting from the show and he told me he was supposed to get it but nothing had been arranged.
