A tragic Jeremy Kyle guest who died days after filming the show was accused of cheating on his fiancée after a stash of viagra went missing.
Steven Dymond, 62, failed a lie detector test during his time on the show and was accused of being a “compulsive liar”.

She said Steven’s fiancée Jane Callaghan claimed he had taken viagra to have with another woman.
Gillian said: “She complained about the viagra going missing out of the top drawer.
“When Jeremy asked where it went, Steve said she took it. Jane admitted she had some of it because it ‘made her bits go funny’, but that there was more missing.
“She thought he was taking it out of the drawer to have it with another woman.”
During the show, Jane also branded her fiancé a “compulsive liar” after saying he lied about his age to her and that he was in the Navy.

“He said he was trying to impress her because he thought she was out of his league,” Gillian told us.
The audience member described Steven as appearing as though he were a “rabbit in the headlight” despite applying to be on the show numerous times .
After failing the lie detector test, she recalled Steven looking “completely dumbstruck” as he sat on the stage floor.
