Steve Dymond, 63, died of an overdose and heart problem at his home in Portsmouth seven days after filming for the ITV show in May 2019.
The 63-year-old had failed a lie detector test he took for the programme after being accused of cheating on his ex-fiancee Jane Callaghan.
Ms Callaghan, from Gosport, wiped her eyes with a tissue while giving evidence at the inquest into his death at Winchester Coroner’s Court yesterday.
The court heard that Mr Dymond sent a WhatsApp message to Ms Callaghan on 6 May 2019, saying: “This will be the last time I say it, I was never, never ever unfaithful to you, in all the time we were together.
“I hope The Jeremy Kyle Show is so happy now, as to what they have done to me. I did lie about my past, but not about me being a cheat, I never ever did cheat on you. They are responsible for what happens now, I hope this makes good ratings for them, I bet they keep this quiet.
“Never did I cheat on you, never, never. My final words. I did try to explain to you, but you would not listen.”
Earlier, Ms Callaghan told the inquest that Mr Kyle was rude and horrible to Mr Dymond when he appeared on the show.
