The presenter appeared at an inquest to defend his 'direct' style
Jeremy Kyle has defended his presenting style at an inquest into the death of a man who had been a guest on his chat show, saying "it was direct, but it was empathetic, it was honest".
Mr Dymond had taken a lie detector test for the programme after being accused of cheating on Miss Callaghan, from Gosport, Hampshire. The court was shown a number of clips from the show, including Mr Kyle telling Mr Dymond: "Be a man, grow a pair of balls and tell her the goddam truth." The broadcaster replied: "I do not, and I have read over time apparently I called him a traitor I didn't that he was cowering. I did what I always do and always did, it was what the show... as I understood the show is, sad as it might sound, it was a typical part."
Maya Sikand KC, representing Mr Dymond's family, asked Mr Kyle if he had been "belittling" over his handling of the guest during the recording. She quoted Mr Kyle asking Mr Dymond: "Did it bother you that she didn't have an orgasm or are you a typical male and do not give a toss." He later added: "The production, the producing, the aftercare, the lie detector test were not my responsibility, I was the presenter."
