‘The worst example of a mother I’ve ever seen’ … Jeremy Kyle blasts alcoholic mum who put grieving kids in care

Angry host turns on guest Lorna who abandoned her six-year-old after her partner was killed in a traffic accident

Jeremy Kyle

JEREMY Kyle lost his rag with a guest and accused her of being “about the worst example of a mother I have seen on here for a long time.”

Scottish mum Lorna was accused of choosing the bottle over her FOUR kids and putting them in care after her husband died.

Daughter Stacey – now 16 – claimed she’s been brought up by relatives for nine years after losing her dad.

And when she finally returned to her mum’s house, she said, she had been thrown out when Lorna wanted her new partner’s son’s girlfriend to move in.

Brave Stacey told how her dad was killed in a tragic car accident when she was just six.

But she revealed her mum put her and her siblings in care and hardly saw them for nine years.

Her brother Jack told Lorna: “You’ve chosen alcohol since the day our dad died and you’ve done nothing for us.”

But Lorna claimed she had not been allowed to see Stacey and Jack after they were taken away.

Furious Jeremy backed the kids and completely lost it.

He shouted: “I am sorry you lost your partner and it’s easy to dive down a bottle. But if you have young kids they should come first.”

He also took Stacey’s side when she revealed she had gone home to her mum at 15, but had left after Lorna moved her partner in along with his son’s girlfriend.

Stacey revealed Marie was living in her room and even wearing her clothes.

Lorna said: “She’s like a daughter to me.”

But Jezza pointed at Stacey, saying: “Here’s your daughter. You should be being a mother to her!”

Amazingly, Lorna moaned about Stacey not giving her a mother’s day card and even claimed she was a good mum.

But a statement from another son, Grant, slammed her as "a compulsive liar and a terrible  mother."

And Jack said: "You have four kids and you’ve lost them all."

Boyfriend John defended her, saying she had been a good mum and had “Fed and clothed” Stacey.

Jeremy said: “That’s the very least a parent can do. She let someone else do that for her.

“She left her with relatives for nine years. How is that good motherhood?”

Lorna also claimed that Stacey had beat her up but Jeremy pointed out: “This girl is full of anger and resentment because of what she’s been through. Don’t you get that?”

He told Stacey and Jack, who admitted to taking drugs on the show, to cut ties with their mum.

He added: “You are about the worst example of a mother I have seen on here for a long time.”
