Steve Dymond, 63, died of an overdose and heart problem at his home in Portsmouth seven days after filming for the ITV show in May 2019 The court heard that Mr Dymond sent a WhatsApp message to Ms Callaghan on 6 May 2019, saying: “This will be the last time I say it, I was never, never ever unfaithful to you, in all the time we were together. She said their plan from 31 March 2019 was to get on The Jeremy Kyle Show so Mr Dymond could do a lie detector test and prove he had not cheated so that the couple could get “closure” and move forward with their relationship. The court heard earlier on Tuesday that Mr Dymond told his son, Carl Woolley, that Mr Kyle had egged on the audience to boo him and “everyone had jumped on him”.
