Jeremy Kyle Show's Graham Stanier defends show after Channel 4 documentary viewers pointed out his absence

Graham Stanier, who was a regular face on The Jeremy Kyle Show throughout its years on-screen, has spoken out to defend the show.

His message comes after a Channel 4 documentary about the ITV talk show aired earlier this week shocked viewers. The two-part programme, Jeremy Kyle Show – Death on Daytime, aired on Sunday and Monday night and explored what happened behind the scenes of the ITV talk show before it was axed almost three years ago.

During the filming for the reality programme, Steve Dymond, a 63-year-old construction worker, had taken part in a lie-detector test to determine whether he had cheated on his ex-fiancee.

He died of a suspected morphine overdose and a heart problem, a pre-inquest review heard last year. The inquest remains ongoing this month.
