Jeremy Kyle pepper spray attack: 'I felt disorientated and scared'
|
Version 0 of 1. Fans of Jeremy Kyle will be able to see the moment the presenter was pepper sprayed in Magaluf on ITV on Thursday night. Kyle was sprayed while filming an episode of his series The Kyle Files in Majorca last summer, looking at the impact heavy drinking was having on the lives of young people. Except it was the impact that pepper spray had on Kyle which made headlines, with Kyle bundled away by his security team after the mystery assailant struck. “Nothing could prepare me for what happened next,” he recalls. “My eyes were stinging, I can’t see properly, my throat is burning and I feel disorientated and scared.” Kyle added: “We came here to talk about a drinking culture - lots of kids seemingly having fun. You get pepper spray sprayed in your face, just walking down the street. Okay, is that the camera? Is that because we’re trying to find out what its really like or does that happen every night If you get into an argument?” Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt put it rather more succinctly, describing the talk show host’s presence at the holiday venue as “as unwelcome as a fart in a lift”. The man reportedly responsible, a Romanian doorman, later said he did it because Kyle was making the town “look shit”. The Kyle Files will air on ITV at 7.30pm on Thursday. |
