Jeremy Kyle guest TWICE tried to kill herself over threats in the street after appearing on ‘childish’ show

A JEREMY Kyle guest tried to kill herself TWICE after cruel trolls threatened her on the street.
Chloe Gill, 20, from Sibsey, Lincs was bombarded with abuse after failing a lie detector on the show last year.
She agreed to be a guest after she was accused of posting a picture of someone else’s child on Facebook.
Chloe said: “I went on to get all the stuff over with. I was absolutely gobsmacked when I didn’t.
“Half of my friends and family didn’t want to know me. I fell out with my own mum at some point.”
BOMBARDED WITH ABUSE
Reflecting on why she attempted suicide, she said: “It was a mixture of the abuse and the show. I couldn't go down the street without being threatened.”
Jeremy Kyle has been axed by ITV bosses after it emerged guest Steve Dymond, 63, took an overdose just days after failing a love rat lie detector on air.
I couldn't go down the street without being threatened.

Questions have now been raised over the level of aftercare given to guests once they are away from the TV cameras and whether show bosses could have done more.
Chloe said she did get some help, but claims it wasn’t enough to help her cope.
NO SUPPORT
She explained: "They offered me counselling, two private sessions.
“They [producers] would ring me once in a blue moon to see if I'm alright. This happened twice, three times.”
She added: "The show could have done more, definitely. My mental health deteriorated."
Before filming, Chloe said she was a happy teenager, who would go on nights out every other weekend.
However, she has since been diagnosed with depression, anxiety and PTSD and says she will only feel safe going to the shops if she has a dog with her.
THE SHOW IS OVER
Chloe has welcomed the decision to remove the show from air.
"At least no one else has to go through it,” she said.
“Don't get me wrong, it has helped people with drug [addictions] and DNA [tests].
“Stuff like this messes with people’s lives.”
She added: “There are no clips on YouTube, which is a relief.
“Maybe I can start my life again without all this childish nonsense.”
ITV declined to comment on Chloe's case.
