His death came just 10 days after he failed a lie detector test on air on the ITV show. Jeremy was exonerated by a coroner’s verdict in September that found there was no evidence to directly link the show to Mr. Dymond’s passing.
Jeremy recently Iopened up about his struggles with mental health during the aftermath, revealing that he had gone through a “horrific, complete breakdown” for two years. Speaking to OK! magazine, he said: “I was an easy target.
“We must never forget that a man died, but it’s been proven that was nothing whatsoever to do with me.” He continued: “It’s been five years of hell. But with the strength of this woman (Vicky) I’m on the other side.
“For two years it was horrific, and I had a complete breakdown. It was Vicky who dragged me out of bed. She saved me.”
Jeremy added: “I’m not going to spend my life apologising for a show that 30,000 people came on and loved, and millions around the world watched.”
