A behind-the-scenes documentary about The Jeremy Kyle Show has revealed shocking previously unseen footage of the host describing guests as ‘thick as s***’ and berating audience members for talking during filming.
The programme ‘Death on Daytime’ heard from former workers on the show who said the platform gave Kyle, 56, a ‘God complex’ and explained how they would make guests distressed to entertain viewers.
One new clip showed Kyle telling off a producer for a ‘terrible’ script while another recorded him saying to a colleague: ‘I don’t understand, they’re terrible f***ing guests, you’ve done it again, they’re as thick as s***.’
The programme also heard from the fiancée of Steve Dymond, a guest from Portsmouth who was found dead aged 63 from a suspected morphine overdose after being grilled by Jeremy Kyle on the show in May 2019.
Mr Dymond had been trying to win back Jane Callaghan after denying he had cheated on her – but failed a lie detector test for the programme and sent a series of anguished messages to her before his apparent suicide.
In another clip, Kyle was seen trying to present a segment, and told viewers: ‘I guess this show’s called the Jeremy Kyle Show, right?But it could be called the JK Show. [Name bleeped out] is back, ladies and gentlemen.’
But he then stopped, saying: ‘No, no, no, get off, get off, it’s wrong, bitcoin dogecoin etc.. get off – the way you’ve written that – it doesn’t make any sense. That’s terrible.You don’t need to say here she is – take a look at this, you doughnut.’

Directly after this clip, one former producer told the documentary: ‘I think that show gave him and it gave many of us a God complex – you think you can speak to people however you want.
Another clip showed him using a snarling voice towards a woman as she walked on stage, saying: ‘Come here, come here, come here – did you have a nice holiday, talk about it?’
