It's not a sight you'd expect to see, but Jeremy Kyle shared an image of himself in a "man nappy" on social media.

The controversial TV presenter, 59, took to Instagram on Thursday with an update after he was struck down with the norovirus bug. Jeremy shared the snap showing him wearing the groin guard while making fun of the virus. He was wearing the attire over his jeans as he pulled a face while pointing at the guard.

Reposting the snap on his Instagram Stories, he added: "Oh yes, my man nappy after the norovirus bug."

According to the NHS, the virus is also called the "winter vomiting bug". The health service states it is "a stomach bug that causes vomiting and diarrhoea. It can be very unpleasant, but usually goes away in about two days. Symptoms can include fever and headaches and cause chills.

Jeremy was recently cleared of any wrongdoing following the death of Steve Dymond shortly after he had appeared on The Jeremy Kyle Show.

The presenter appeared in court in September as an inquest concluded an investigation into the death of the 63 year old. Mr Dymond took his own left in 2019, one week after filming an episode of the ITV show.

During filming, Dymond endured a lie-detector test and he was accused of being unfaithful - which he reportedly denied. Kyle was said to have denied encouraging the audience to take against Dymond. He told the inquest at the time: "Not at all I asked them to give them a round of applause."

After his show was not blamed in court. for playing a role in Mr Dymond's death, the presenter said his "conscience is clear".

Speaking to The Sun after the inquest's conclusion, he said: "Let's not forget first and foremost somebody took their life because they were in a position where they saw no way out. I haven't spoken for five and a half years out of respect because there was a legal process that dragged on and on for many reasons."

He continued: "It should never have been about me; it's about Steve, and his family. That was my first thought when I found out ." And he added: "But my conscience is clear. The coroner was right in that there was nothing I did or could have done to stop this tragedy. I was presenting a show. Steve had been cleared to appear by both ITV's aftercare ream and his own GP."

However, Mr Dymond's son, Carl Woolley, released a statement following the ruling. In his words, which were read out by the family's solicitor outside of the court, he said: "It has been five years since my father died. In my view, anyone watching the clips of the show would see that he was in tears, and spoken to in the most brutal way by Jeremy Kyle.

“The coroner has recorded that the lie detector test, in which Jeremy Kyle believes in so strongly, can have an accuracy of 60-96%. The only good thing that came from my father’s death is that The Jeremy Kyle Show is cancelled.”
