If you have spent any weekday morning in front of the television, you will know about the legend that is Jeremy Kyle. He is the man that sorts out people's problems and has provided us with endless hours of entertainment but he is also the voice of reason. And it's his 50th birthday today which is why we've put together 20 things The Jeremy Kyle Show has taught us...

---

  1. Don’t trust anyone. 2. You need to be able to describe your problem in one (dramatic) line. 3. The first person who comes on to the stage is almost always wrong and/or lying. 4. Nobody messes with Jeremy (or Jezza as we like to call him). 5. Spelling is important. 6. It is possible to not cheat but have slept with someone that isn’t your other half (well, according to some people it is!) 7. Chairs should be at least an arm’s length away from each other. 8. You should use contraception. 9. Refusing to do the lie detector is not a sign of innocence. 10. When Jeremy sits on the step, it's serious. 11. Whatever you do, have a job and look after your kids. 12. Facebook is evil. 13. Graham is God’s gift. 14. It’s called The Jeremy Kyle Show for a reason... he’s the boss and you should let him finish speaking. 15. The father could be anyone. 16. You can't lie to Jezza. He knows everything. 17. You're not allowed to throw things at him. 18. He's not a fan of fleas. 19. Anything can happen. 20. ANYTHING!
