Jeremy Kyle, 59, wears a 'man nappy' after suffering from norovirus bug as he shares light-hearted snap

Jeremy Kyle posed with a 'man nappy' on in an Instagram snap after revealing he suffered from a horrific norovirus bug on Thursday.

The TV presenter, 59, shared the light-hearted snap, sporting a groin guard as he poked fun at the vomiting bug.

He captioned his post: 'Oh yes, my man nappy after the norovirus bug'.

Norovirus, also called the 'winter vomiting bug', is a stomach bug that causes vomiting and diarrhoea.

The virus can show similar symptoms to Covid, with both viruses causing chills, fever and headaches.

Sufferers, who may also experience aching arms and legs, are advised to stay at home until 48 hours after their symptoms have stopped.

Jeremy was recently 'cleared' of any link with Steve Dymond's death after he appeared on his show in 2019.

He said the 'false accusations' against him have taken 'a huge toll' after a coroner ruled there was 'no causal link' between the appearance of a guest on his show and his death.

Ex-RNLI volunteer Steve appeared on The Jeremy Kyle Show on May 2, 2019, to try to prove to his on-off partner Jane Callaghan, then 48, that he didn't cheat on her.

The 63-year-old, from Portsmouth, Hampshire, failed a lie detector test and was found dead seven days later in the £100-a-week room he rented, having overdosed on morphine.

Finding that Steve took his own life, area coroner Jason Pegg ruled it would be 'speculative' to suggest the presenter and his show played a role in his death.

Mr Pegg said although the TV star could be 'quite critical', there was 'insufficient evidence' that Kyle's comments 'contributed to his distress'. He could not, however, conclude whether or not Steve lied during his lie detector test.

Kyle has since responded in a statement, saying his name has 'finally been cleared' after he remained 'steadfastly silent in the face of lies, false accusations and unfair criticism over the last 5 1/2 years'.

A statement from Mr Dymond's son Carl Woolley was read by family lawyer Anna Thwaites outside the coroner's court.

It read: 'It has been five years since my father died. In my view, anyone watching the clips of the show, can see that he was in tears and was spoken to in the most brutal way by Jeremy Kyle.

'The coroner has recorded that the lie detector test, in which Jeremy Kyle believes so strongly, had an accuracy of 60 to 96 per cent.

'The only good thing that came of my father's death, is the Jeremy Kyle Show is cancelled.'

The Winchester inquest previously heard how Mr Dymond was 'booed' by the audience during the filming after the test suggested he had been lying about having not cheated on his partner.

He was also slammed by on camera by presenter Kyle, who said: 'Grow a pair of balls and tell her the God-damn truth.'

The presenter later argued he has an 'empathetic' on-air style.
