A FORMER guest on The Jeremy Kyle Show feels that the host should not be back on TV screens.

Kane Manning, aged 24, appeared on the show back in July 2017 and said he was caused “emotional distress”.

The TV show was cancelled in 2019 following the death of another guest, Steven Dymond who was 63.

He was found dead at his home after failing a lie detector test on the show.

After the show recording ended, distraught Steve told one of the show's researchers "I wish I was dead" before being sent home in a taxi two hours later.

The Jeremy Kyle Show was cancelled following the tragedy.

But the host is now set to return to TV screens after almost three years away. He will be one of the personalities heading up TalkTV, the offshoot of TalkRadio, on April 25.

It comes just weeks after the Channel 4 documentary “Death on Daytime”, which saw former staff members from the show anonymously allege toxic backstage behaviour.

The Argus:

Kane, from Portslade, said: “It’s a disgrace. They shut the show down and obviously he does Talk Radio but I didn’t think they would get him back on TV. 

“In my opinion I think they’ve all forgotten what happened and they’re just pretending it didn’t happen. 

“It’s really shocking he got a second chance. I don’t think he should.

“All that grief and drama the show caused, I think they ruined people’s lives.

“When the show ended people put it behind them because we thought he wouldn’t be on TV again, the damage and trauma will be reopened again.

“At the end of the day he shouldn’t be on TV full stop. When The Jeremy Kyle Show ended I thought that’s it, now he’s coming back, it’s a disgrace really.”

The Argus:

Kane, who was 20 at the time, appeared on the show to speak about a family matter in which he believed a woman was lying about his brother being the father of her child.

The footage can be found online and shows Kyle grilling Kane about the situation and mocking his clothing as well. The audience laughs loudly as Kyle questions Kane.

He said the show provides an “uncomfortable” atmosphere that put him on edge and not enough is done to ensure guests are looked after following their appearance.

On the show, Kane walks on to the set and Kyle immediately makes a remark about his “tweed” trousers.

Kane said: “People all around the world could have watched that. He was nice before the show but afterwards I felt insulted. And at the end he said it was all for the show but that’s not on, that’s not right.

“I phoned up and complained when I got home and they said they couldn’t do anything about it.”

Kane said someone from the show did call him back a couple of days after filming but the conversation did not progress any further than “how are you?”.

Now, he said that he regrets ever going on the show and wishes he could turn back time.
