I can scarcely believe this tragic news.

The Jeremy Kyle Show was axed last May when guest Steve Dymond, 63, died 10 days after allegedly failing a lie detector test on the daytime show.

It’s believed Natasha wasn’t involved in signing Mr Dymond as a guest.

In a statement about Natasha’s death, ITV said: “Our thoughts are with her family and all those who knew her. She was a producer on The Jeremy Kyle Show and left ITV eight months ago, in June 2019.

“As with all other former employees on the show she was offered support and counselling by ITV during the redundancy process and help in securing new employment.”
