The digger driver was found dead in his Portsmouth flat a week after the show in May 2019, the inquest heard.

He left a card to son Carl Woolley, in which he admitted lying to Jane but denied cheating.

The message, with no mention of Kyle or the show, said: “I just do not want to be here no more, my life feels empty without Jane.

"I just loved her so much.”

To Jane, he wrote: “I hope The Jeremy Kyle Show is so happy now, as to what they have done to me.

“I did lie about my past, but I never ever did cheat on you.”

In a written statement to the hearing at Winchester coroner’s court, Mr Dymond’s brother Leslie said: “He told me he was jeered and called a failure.

"He said he was worthless and that he could not face life any more.”

The inquest continues.
