Fans took to Twitter to express their disgust after the guest admitted his drugs habit comes before his family
JEREMY Kyle Show viewers couldn't believe their ears this morning after a guest said he loves cocaine more than his kids.
Fans watching today's recap episode - where addict Mickey admitted he got high at his father's funeral and is prepared to sell his body to fund his habit - were left aghast by the revelations.
During his chat with Jezza, Mickey was asked whether he preferred drugs to his family.
He replied: "Yes I love the cocaine more than my kids at the moment.
"That's the bottom line. I'm ashamed to say it but that's how it is."
Viewers were left horrified by his confession and immediately took to Twitter to make their feelings known.
One wrote: "'i love cocaine more than my kids' hahahaha oh the people on jeremy kyle make me screech!"
Another said: "This cokehead on Jezza needs a slap and he's an ex army chap....I love my cocaine more than my kids 🤕👀 #jeremykyle".
A third wrote: "looooool this guy on the jeremy kyle show said he loves cocaine more than his kids, na this world is deffo finished".
And another joked: "Men like this will do anything for cocaine.... but they're cheaper than tradesmen if you need a job doing round the house #jeremykyle".
Mickey also admitted he would sell his body for the substance, and had even coaxed his daughter Paige, 18, into doing it with him - leading to her own addiction.
He then confessed to being high while carrying his father's coffin at his funeral, causing the audience to gasp with horror.
However, it later emerged he was a former serviceman suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, prompting Jeremy to offer him a 12-week stay at a rehabilitation centre in Luton.
The Jeremy Kyle Show returns to ITV on Monday at 9:25.
