The unaired version of the Jeremy Kyle Show with guest Steve Dymond has been played for the first time - at the inquest into the 63-year-old's death. 

Mr Dymond died of suspected suicide seven days after filming the programme in 2019. 

During the episode the 63-year-old failed a lie detector test he'd taken to prove to his partner he wasn't cheating on her - seeing him break down on stage. 

Then, as tears rolled down his face, Jeremy Kyle told Mr Dymond to 'grow a pair of balls and tell her the God-damn truth'. 

Kyle has been accused of 'throwing Mr Dymond under the bus' when he failed the test, but the former presenter has today argued he has an 'empathetic' on-air style.

And today the 63-year-old's unaired appearance on the programme was shown for the first time at his inquest. 

Mr Dymond had signed up to the show in 2019 to try to prove to his partner Jane Callaghan that he hadn't been cheating on her. 

But, when the lie detector test concluded he was not telling the truth, Kyle said: 'I wouldn't trust you with a chocolate button mate, I don't think you know what the truth is.'

In the eight-minute clip, Mr Dymond can be seen holding Jane's hand - gently stroking it as he tries to explain why he tells white lies to her. 

He visibly becomes upset, with tears in his eyes, and says: 'I just lie to her, for no reason.

'Since we've split up, and got back together, I've never once lied to her.' 

When Kyle asks if he loves Jane, Mr Dymond's voice cracks as he says: 'God, to bits. So so much.'

The TV presenter today told Winchester Coroner's Court that Mr Dymond was just another 'typical' guest on his show and insisted that he showed him 'empathy'.

Giving evidence for the first time, the TV presenter denied 'belittling' or 'humilating' Mr Dymond and said he displayed 'care' for the 63-year-old.

Kyle, 59, claimed he had been 'very complimentary' of Mr Dymond and said he tried to 'de-escalate' and 'calm down' him down when he sobbed over his failed lie detector results.

The show was seen for the first time today as parts were shown at Mr Dymond's inquest. 

During the clips, Kyle brands the 63-year-old a 'liar' and slams 'I don't think you know what the truth is'. 

The court this week heard that the 63-year-old died at his home from a combination of morphine overdose and left ventricular hypertrophy in his heart. 

Footage of the programme shows Kyle entering the stage saying My Dymond was accused of lying about his age, about being in the Royal Navy, about grandchildren, and about viagra gone missing.

Kyle then tells Mr Dymond, after looking at the lie detector results: 'The test says you're a liar, you failed every single test.'

As Mr Dymond sobs, he tells him: 'I wouldn't trust you with a chocolate button mate, I don't think you know what the truth is.'

He added: 'Be a man and grow a pair of balls and tell her the god-damn truth.'

On the stand today, Kyle admitted he was 'direct' but said his on-stage behaviour was a 'presenter persona' and that he was 'paid to do a job'.

He also revealed he never received training to deal with highly-charged emotional situations - but said he had 'total faith' in his team.  

Giving evidence, Kyle today said: 'What I see in those clips is, from the moment Steve Dymond comes out, I was very complimentary.

'I called him mate, I called him pal, we had a bit of a joke.

'I de-escalated and I calmed down, 'we are going to put you backstage'.

'It was about conflict resolution.

'For me, that's what the show was about, conflict resolution, and people that came on the show knew that.

'The people that came on the show were aware of the approach.

'It had been on the air for 15 years, I think the approach for conflict resolution was always the same.

'Yes, it was direct, but it was manufactured...

'You can see empathy and that is, in essence how I saw it and how I see it.

'I think that persona was actually very, very regular and continuous.

'Yes, it was direct, it was also caring.

'I look at those clips and I see that journey.'

Kyle said he had 'total faith' in the production and aftercare teams and reiterated again he had 'no involvement' in the selection process.

'I met Steve Dymond for, I think, 15 minutes,' he said.

'I was 100 per cent that he must have told a lie because when you tell a lie you fail the whole thing.'

Asked if he had received any specialist training to deal with guests, he said: 'No.

'The show developed, it was a character, a part, but I understood from day one it's about conflict resolution so it involved many aspects of many stories and many different approaches.'

He continued: 'I hate to say it, to me that was a typical Jeremy Kyle part.

'Yes, the gentleman was emotional, he had rung 40 to 50 times, he wanted to come on the show and we facilitated that...

'We did what we always did for 15 years - provide an aftercare service and yes... I moved onto the next guest.

'I don't believe he was humiliated.

'Apparently I called him a traitor and I didn't.

'I repeat, it was the show the same as I understood the show.

'As sad as it might sound, it was a typical part.'

Kyle also said: 'I know there was an oil tanker of WhatsApp messages and texts [from Mr Dymond].

'I heard people say my approach to Steve Dymond was met with concern - there's not one text message that complains about my behaviour.

'I'm the presenter - I didn't create the show. I was paid to do a job.'

Kyle said he thought he had a 'double security blanket' because Mr Dymond received support from the ITV aftercare team and because his GP had written a letter.

'It's always been and always will be conflict resolution', he said of his cancelled show.

'I just want to make the point I had in my 14 and a half years no involvement in the selection process and the aftercare of any of the guests.

'I was employed as the presenter and that was the benchmark of the job I did.

Asked how much of his presenting was 'artistic', Kyle said: 'I think I was directed a lot because you would be [given] the information the team provided you with.'

On his 'style', he said: 'I always believe that the stories were a journey and... for Steve Dymond's part you see that journey.

'You see there is a pleasant introduction, face the truth, then empathy at the end.. let's try and find some reconciliation.

'I always believe that was the right approach.

'Different approaches for different guests.'

He denied 'belittling' Mr Dymond and denied that 'humiliation was part of conflict resolution'.

Kyle also said: 'It was time for him to face up to the truth and he admitted he lied many times... I saw Jane desperate for him to tell her the truth because she loved him.

'I asked them to give him a round of applause when I left the stage.'

On the 'I wouldn't trust you with a chocolate button' comment, he said: 'I have no idea about the chocolate button comment - I have thought about that for many months.

'I don't know where that came from.'

Kyle said he 'genuinely had great admiration' for guests on his show.

Hours earlier, it was revealed Jeremy Kyle Show producers joked about Mr Dymond having 'tears in his eyes'.

One member of the programme's team said in a private chat group that he 'had tears in his eyes twice lol x'. 

It was also heard how the 63-year-old sobbed continuously when filming finished and was allowed to leave the studio after telling a producer 'I wish I was dead'.

The inquest was told how members of the show's production team had a WhatsApp group to discuss guests in the lead up to, and after, filming episodes.

One message from a producer on May 2, 2019, read: 'Could you pop and see Mr Dymond, who wants to meet you.

'Could be emotional - he's had tears in his eyes twice lol x.'

The message was said to have been sent around 10.20am, which is understood to be before the episode was filmed.

Another text was read from after the filming of the episode, which said: 'Just so you know, he's still crying.

'I think it's still being in this room going around in circles.

'He just said "I wish I was dead" - just a heads up.'

Mr Wissun told the hearing Mr Dymond was 'continuously' talking to members of the production team and the after care nurses from the time the filming finished at around 12.45pm to when he left the studio at 2.30pm

He said: 'I believe the researcher says guests would often make comments like that in the heat of the moment soon after the recording.

'But they would calm themselves or be calmed and that wouldn't necessarily be how they felt when they left the studios.

'By the time Mr Dymond left the studio no one felt there was any sense of crisis.

'Obviously he was upset about the lie detector test but the production team understood he was going home and could speak to his partner and the production team spoke to him the next day to see how he was.'

The inquest continues.
