Babette Lucas-Marriott, was an audience member during Steve Dymond’s Jeremy Kyle recording.
The student told the BBC: “Everyone felt the mood change, he was crying from the very beginning and he was so convinced that he would pass this test and that everything would be fine.
“Jeremy brought out the lie detector test and he asked the audience, ‘Who thinks he’s going to pass?’
He absolutely just couldn’t believe what he had heard and, y’know, he was begging his fiancée for forgiveness

Kyle, 53, yesterday broke cover for the first time since news of Steve's tragic death emerged this week.
His show is ITV's most popular daytime programme and has been running for 14 years.
But a source told The Sun: “Jeremy and those on the show are worried that this could be the nail in the coffin.
“There’s been a groundswell of criticism since the news broke of Steve’s death, and there’s a feeling from people who work on the show that top bosses might decide to use the incident as a reason to change things around.”

YOU'RE NOT ALONE
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide.
It doesn't discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society - from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It's the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it's rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
That is why The Sun launched the You're Not Alone campaign.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.
