Tragic Jeremy Kyle guest Steve Dymond’s heartbreaking last texts before suicide

THE heartbreaking final texts of tragic Jeremy Kyle guest Steve Dymond have been revealed in a new documentary.
Steve took his own life after failing a lie detector test on the ITV show while trying to prove to his fiancée he hadn't cheated on her.
The 63-year-old died of a suspected drug overdose just days later.
It resulted in the show being pulled indefinitely after 14 years.
A Channel 4 documentary into the alleged lack of care towards guests uncovered the last messages he sent before his death.
They read: "I hope the Jeremy Kyle show is so happy now.

"They are responsible for what happens now.
"I hope this makes good ratings for them. I bet they keep this quiet.
"Never never never did I cheat on you. Never never. My final words."
The construction worker applied to appear on the programme after splitting from his fiancée Jane Callaghan in February that year.
She had accused him of cheating on her but he was reportedly desperate to prove he hadn't been unfaithful.

Jane said Steve was determined to go in front of the cameras despite having underlying health concerns, including depression.
She also revealed that the digger driver got a doctor’s letter confirming he was medically fit so he could take the show’s test.
"He wanted to go on. He was really excited and confident," she said.
"But it was all a front and I knew it. He wasn’t well at all."
Following his death, Kyle said he was "utterly devastated" by Steve's passing.
But in unseen footage shown on the two-part series, Kyle is heard describing the guests as "f***ing terrible" and "thick as s***".
He declined to respond when approached by the producers.
A show worker told Jeremy Kyle Show – Death on Daytime: "I felt like I had blood on my hands. We felt like we killed someone."

You're Not Alone
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide.
It doesn't discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society - from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It's the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it's rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
That is why The Sun launched the You're Not Alone campaign.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.
Let's all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others... You're Not Alone.
