The 63-year-old is believed to have killed himself seven days after filming for the ITV show in May 2019.
Steve Dymond had rung 40 to 50 times in "desperate" attempts to become a guest on The Jeremy Kyle Show, an inquest into his death has heard. The 63-year-old, from Portsmouth, Hampshire, is believed to have killed himself seven days after filming for the ITV show in May 2019.
The inquest heard that Mr Dymond went into the surgery on April 9 and spoke to a staff member who recorded in notes that he was "desperate for a letter to take to the show". The letter read to the inquest said: "I write to confirm that Mr Dymond is registered with this practice. Mr Dymond has a history of low mood and depression but his mood has improved since he got back together with his partner.
Mr Wissun said that the subsequent letter from Mr Dymond's GP, requested to support a second application, was a "very unusual circumstance". Mr Wissun said that the lie detector test was not offered to anyone currently diagnosed with depression and added: "The lie detector test was a feature of the show which had been used by the show throughout its run. Quite a lot of potential guests applied to come on the show specifically to take a lie detector as Mr Dymond did."
