Furious Jeremy Kyle kicked Labour Peer Lord George Foulkes off his TalkTV show as the debate took an explosive turn. Kyle and Lord Foulkes were discussing Peter Mandelson's resignation from the Labour party following allegations he engaged in misconduct while Business Secretary under Gordon Brown when the row erupted. Mandelson has been accused of giving sensitive information to Epstein in exchange for money. He has also been pictured in his underwear in the Epstein files, with Sky News reporting the pictures were taken in paedophile Jeffrey Epstein's Paris flat. Mandelson has denied any wrongdoing.

Lord Foulkes made the comparison between Mandelson and former Conservative Prime Ministers Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, who both faced public backlash during their respective times in office.

Kyle exploded: "Are you going to win the argument with the British public by simply saying, 'look at Boris Johnson, look at Liz Truss,' this man is a disgrace in the job."

Foulkes hit back: "And look, what happened in the House of Commons last night, the House of Commons voted to scrap the two-child limit last night. We're doing all the things we promised, one after the other..." as Kyle interrupted: "Well, hold on a second, now we're going to have a massive argument.

"You told the farmers you'd look after them, lie. You told the WASPI women you'd look after them, lie. You told the pensioners you'd look after them, lie. Come on, be honest with me. You've lied."

The Labour peer then asked Kyle when he had been "kicked off his show", referring to his ITV tabloid talk show, which saw Kyle intervene between members of the public in various disputes.

Upon hearing the jibe, Kyle raged: "Now that's the lowest I've ever heard, and about sums up why the Labour Party is on its a**e. That's the truth. You have no political argument. You want to resort to that.

"I'll tell you what you can do. You can get off my damn show and do one. Bye-bye. We'll carry on with the next bloke. Sorry I'm not talking to him," as Foulkes was removed from the live interview.

Kyle's show was taken off the air after the suicide of Steve Dymond, a guest who had appeared on the show after being accused of cheating on his partner. Dymond was left devastated when a lie detector claimed he was lying. However, a coroner later ruled that there was "no causal link" between Dymond's appearance on the show and his subsequent death.
