Jeremy Kyle guest calls for host to be prosecuted as buried clips shown to MPs

Jeremy Kyle's in even deeper waters after the man dubbed his show's most hated guest called for the presenter to be prosecuted.

Kyle's show, which saw him take on people's emotional struggles, was axed by ITV after the suicide of Steve Dymond, who had appeared on his show days earlier.

Now Dwayne Davison has delivered a blow to the daytime telly host, branding him "a lowlife and a bully" and calling for him to face consequences.

The 28 year-old said: "Kyle is a lowlife and bully. He was at the centre of all this hatred and he revelled in it."

He added: "He's worse that any of these people he's accused of being villains.

"He deserves to be prosecuted – the man has incited so much hatred it is despicable."

MPs on the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee, who are investigating the show, were shown unedited clips that were never aired.

The clips reveal that Kyle goaded and swore at guests, and even continued his torrents of abuse off stage.

One clip shows the 54 year-old calling a guest a "gobs***e" and "a slouching little idiot".

In another, he asks a recently engaged guest: "Have you bought a ring or stolen one?"

Damian Collins, who chairs the committee, spoke plainly about the MPs' position on the matter having seen footage that was left on the cutting room floor and handed over from a whistleblower.

He said: "It is clear that once the cameras started rolling on The Jeremy Kyle Show there was no safe space for anyone in a highly distressed state.

"We've also seen how Jeremy Kyle would use provocative and sometimes abusive language towards participants in the show, and that this could be edited out of the broadcasted show.

"What we've seen demonstrates a failure on the part of ITV Studios in its responsibility towards contributors and makes a mockery of the aftercare it has claimed to provide."

Dwayne, who's thought to be featured in some of the footage, says he tried to take his own life in the past after his treatment on the show.

Dwayne told The Sun that what fans didn't see all that happened to him on the show.

He said: "I felt like I was backed into a corner from the start. He was attacking me here and there.

"They edited out all the things Jeremy said. He called me other names, swore at me.

"But you don't get to see them, only what the guests say. It's very convenient. It's a false reality. That's power of editing."
