| 0:00.0 | Jeremy, how did it feel to get blamed for someone's death after your show? |
| 0:06.0 | It's a really interesting question because I have to say that I've thought about that so many times over the last five years. |
| 0:11.6 | And that's the most important thing to say to you. Somebody died. |
| 0:15.5 | I know now, as I perhaps knew all the way through, but perhaps it's now out there. |
| 0:20.1 | There were many reasons |
| 0:21.0 | that Steve Diamond sadly took his own life. It was not down, as the coroner said, what, six |
| 0:27.6 | weeks ago, to ITV or the Jeremy Cow Show, but you become a really easy target. And I think if |

| 1:05.3 | As I said at the time, I played a person. |
| 1:09.1 | I didn't select after care, do any of that with the guests. I met Steve |
| 1:13.8 | Diamond, tragic Steve Diamond for 11 minutes. And for him and his family, it's so sad that |
| 1:18.7 | that happened. But it was really important that the truth came out. Five years was far too long, |
| 1:23.7 | COVID, of course, the legal system. And people who I will not get involved with criticizing ever, you know, all put their two pennyworth in. And in the meantime, COVID, of course, the legal system. And people who I will not get involved with criticizing |
| 1:28.1 | ever, you know, all put their too pennyworth in. And in the meantime, I was, I guess you'd |
| 1:32.7 | say, understandably, the man that got blamed for everything, to be fair. And so that whole |
