My conscience is clear over Steve Dymond, says Jeremy Kyle as he opens up in exclusive interview

JEREMY Kyle has spoken for the first time since the inquest into the suicide of Steve Dymond, and staunchly defended his part in the fall-out:

"What happened was a tragedy, but to blame other people is wrong."

He has also hit back at his detractors, and those who criticised the hugely popular ITV1 daytime show, insisting the programme ratings spoke for themselves.

The star, 59, has also detailed the mental and physical toll the past five and a half years - since tragic Steve, 63, took his own life on May 9th 2019 - has had on him.

But the humbled broadcaster was prescribed anti-depressant Citalopram in the wake of the tragedy.

He says: "Let's not forget first and foremost somebody took their life because they were in a position where they saw no way out.
