We’re used to shocking scenes on the controversial Jeremy Kyle Show, but Monday’s episode took things to a new level when the host ended up shouting and swearing at a guest for ignoring show rules.
Presenter Jeremy Kyle raged at “idiot” Mark when he admitted to sabotaging his lie detector test by drinking alcohol the night before.
The 53-year-old lost his temper during a segment with a family of five. They were fighting over £1,500 that had been stolen from the house after the death of their dad.
Dad-of four Jeremy shouted at each of them: “Who nicked the money?” as each of them denied it.
But as he came to reading Mark’s lie detector results, the host looked livid, saying: “Are you joking me? Are you JOKING me, Mr Smug?”
Looking defiant, Mark replied: “No, I’m not.”
Jeremy then revealed that Mark had flouted strict rules not to drink alcohol before the test, as it can impact the results of the test.
He said: “You were unfit for testing. No, no no, no, no, you can say what you want. You sabotage that, Mr Cool?”
When Mark tried to claim he hadn’t done it deliberately, Jeremy fully shouted at him: “Then why did you do what you were told NOT to do? To get out of the test!”
Mark insisted he’d only had one drink, but the presenter was still furious, saying: “How does it look?”
Jeremy also blasted ‘Dennis’ for receiving an inconclusive result. He accused the guest: “You sabotaged the test didn’t you? We couldn’t test you properly because you wouldn’t sit still.”
He then shouted at them both: “What you’ve both done is left a big [bleeping] question mark. Because you haven’t followed the rules. You idiot.”

A third said: “This is #JeremyKyle in a microcosm. Full on [bleep]s, lie detector, Jeremy shouting…”
Others accused Mark of lying about how much he’d had to drink, writing: “I had one drink, one pint… of whiskey #jeremykyle.”
Another said: “Only one drink? Doubt it! #jeremykyle”.
