Jeremy Kyle guest had taken previous overdoses, inquest hears

The inquest heard extracts from a note, read by Ms Spearing, which Mr Dymond left for his son.

“I never ever cheated on Jane and that is what is tearing me to pieces and everyone thinks I am but I’m not a cheat. But I did tell her lies and I lied so much to Jane and that is why she didn’t believe me,” the note said.

Mr Dymond’s former partner Ms Callaghan told the court on Tuesday the pair had met through a dating site in May 2017 and were together for about two years.

She said the relationship ended as she had “just found out that he lied a lot about his past”.

She said it was Mr Dymond’s idea to go on the show to prove “he hadn’t cheated”.

After the test results came back inconclusive, he said it was because he had lied in the pre-show questions about his past.

Following the break-up, she said she received lots of voice calls and messages from Mr Dymond, adding he had been “very upset”.

The inquest heard in Mr Dymond’s last text message to Ms Callaghan, sent on 6 May 2019, he insisted he had “never, never ever” been unfaithful to her.

“I hope the Jeremy Kyle show is so happy now, as to what they have done to me,” he wrote.

“They are responsible for what happens now, I hope this makes good ratings for them.”

The inquest continues.
