It has come to many fans’ attention that Jeremy Kyle suffers from a severe form of cynophobia, or a phobia of dogs.
Jeremy Kyle terrified of dogs on his show
Indeed, during the filming of a recent show, Jeremy hopped onto a chair when a tiny white puppy stepped onto the set.
Things got even more heated when an adult dog came onto the stage with his owner. Jeremy told her firmly: "Don’t you dare let go of that lead."
A fear from childhood
This is not the first time Jeremy’s fear of dogs has come to the surface. In 2017, he opened up about the phobia, saying:
Some fans of the show were surprised to see that Jeremy could be terrified of such a small puppy - but a phobia’s a phobia! Desensitization or exposure therapy can help to treat these anxiety disorders, but it doesn't look as if Jeremy's interested. Oh well, more dogs for us!
