I laid on my bedroom carpet counting to one hundred stomach crunches every evening after school, desperately trying to flatten my stomach, and every time I looked in the mirror naked, I wanted to be sick.

The truth about lie detectors: why Jeremy Kyle's polygraph tests are a cheatA guest on the Jeremy Kyle Show has died after taking, and failing, a lie detector test in an attempt to prove that he had not cheated on his fiancée. Click bait opinion pieces. 'Lie detectors are faked'..... 5 minutes later..... the person totally admits and says sorry for cheating. People go on Jeremy Kyle for a lie detector test and if they don't.. they will just pay for it privately. Hang on, are they trying to say that the show is responsible for this person's death? Oh that's just bloody sick. It always baffled me as to why people went on the show to start with. What kind of person does their dirty washing in front of millions. Then to be jeered, mocked, taunted and trolled, afterward.
