After a lie detector test determined Steve had lied about the cheating claims, he pleaded with her to believe he was telling the truth.

Dwayne Davison, who appeared on the ITV show in 2014, told the House of Commons culture select committee that he was locked in a room and had his phone taken from him.

He told them he attempted suicide after he said his reputation was essentially ruined by his appearance on the daytime show.

Damian Collins MP said: "I think someone in police custody would have more rights and better treatment."

Following the death of Steve Dymond, ITV said: “The show had extensive, detailed duty of care processes in place for contributors built up over 14 years.

“Should they require ongoing help appropriate solutions were found. Due to the gravity of events in May 2019, ITV decided to end production of the show. It would not be appropriate to comment further on that in advance of the inquest this month.

"ITV does not accept the central allegation of this programme of a ‘bad culture’ within the production team. ITV would never condone any of its production staff misleading or lying to guests.

"All guests were aware of the nature of the show and the presenter’s style before taking part. All guests gave their informed consent, in writing, to take part.

"Since 2018 ITV has taken significant steps in relation to its duty of care of participants."

Jeremy Kyle admitted his celebrity friends disappeared following the controversy that followed the cancellation of his show.

The former presenter told The Sun in an exclusive interview following the death of Steve Dymond: “I’m not asking for any sympathy, but being completely honest, yes, it was a very difficult time.

"It didn’t take long for some people I’ve known for many, many years to just disappear.

"Some people were brilliant — Piers Morgan reached out straight away because he’s that sort of guy, and he was brilliant.

"Kate Garraway, who is just extraordinary and has been through the most awful time herself recently, still takes time to get in touch, and I’ve helped her with her kids, too.

"Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford were amazing, so was Rob Rinder, and Declan Donnelly.

"But there were also lots who just never got in touch again even though we had worked together for so many years — it’s very, very telling. 

"It’s a strange situation because you don’t really want to talk to people when something like that happens, but then you’re annoyed when they don’t call too."
