A former guest on The Jeremy Kyle Show has apparently died.
Deon ‘Mad Dog’ Hulse, who appeared on the ITV daytime show in 2011 in an episode titled ‘How Could My Boyfriend Destroy His Own Face?,’ died ‘peacefully in his sleep,’ according to his family.
They’ve now set up a Go Fund Me page for his funeral costs, writing: ‘He touched a lot of people’s hearts.
‘Many of us will always have a story to tell about him.
‘He was a one off and one in a trillion.’
The episode saw Hulse tell Kyle: ‘I don’t care what I look like.
‘I am who I am, if people don’t like me for who I am, they can do one.
‘What’s wrong with it? I’m still the same person inside.’
During the episode, the then-27-year-old left his girlfriend Catherine unimpressed with his new look after having a skull tattoo on his whole face.
Catherine informed the talk show host that she assumed Hulse was kidding when he originally offered the radical tattoo, and the talk show presenter stated that he was perplexed as well as Catherine as to why someone would want to do such a thing.
‘I’m slightly struggling as to why anyone would have a skull tattooed on their face,’ Kyle said.
After a failed lie detector test, Kyle labelled the father-of-two a ‘liar and a cheat’.
‘You look ridiculous,’ he added.
