IT returned to our TV screens with an explosive new series on Monday.
And Jeremy Kyle was back to its jaw-dropping best after featuring a man who was accused of abandoning his kids - before incorrectly guessing how many children he had fathered.
Kevin, 46, appeared on the ITV daytime programme at the request of 18-year-old Elliott.
Elliott said he’s never properly met Kevin but knows he dated his mum for two years.
He said: “I wasn’t told anything when I was young. Then from eight years old you hear things, in the playground, through sisters, drip fed… that he’s a violent, abusive man.”

Elliott’s mum died when he was four and he was forced into care as his father - who he believes is Kevin - wasn’t around.
“It was a massive disappointment not having a father figure, you have to do it on your own,” he said.
“It’s difficult. You have your moments but it makes you stronger for it.
"I got in contact with him a couple of weeks ago. I’ve got questions and I want to put my past behind him.”
Kevin, who was joined on the show by his new partner Alison, denied being violent and being an alcoholic.
Jeremy asked Kevin how many children he has and he was unable to answer.
This angered his eldest son Paul, who was joined by his girlfriend Carla, who burst onto the stage and started yelling abuse at him.
Jeremy then cut to a video link of Kevin’s ex-partner Kaye.
She said: “Kevin who the hell do you think you are? You’re nothing but a wife beating alcoholic.
"A bully, control freak, you made my life hell, you beat me up. I did nothing to you.
"I was faithful all along. You don’t deserve to be happy. I hope you rot in hell.”
Kevin had five children with Kaye but they had to be put up for adoption due to neglect.
Paul returned to the stage and shouted at Kevin: “You don’t know how old your kids are.
"You don’t know their names. I’ve lost count.”
Kevin estimated that he has eight children.
A stunned Jezza reminds him that he actually has 10 and dubs him the "worst dad ever".
Elliott joined Kevin on the stage alongside Cherise.
Both of them wanted DNA tests to find out if Kevin is their father.
Elliott said: “He’s full of lies what he is. I just want answers about my mum.”
The DNA test showed that Cherise and Elliott are Kevin’s biological children.
Jeremy is stunned by Kevin’s lack of emotion.
He said: “There isn’t an ounce of apology or regret that you’ve messed up. It’s all about you.”
Elliott, Cherise and Paul say they are going to support each other as a family without Kevin.
Viewers at home were stunned by the shocking story and Kevin's actions.
Meanwhile, audience members have previously been left shocked by a guest who had a giant tattoo on the side of his head.
