Jeremy Kyle was threatened by a masked gang member when he questioned him about knife crime.
The 53-year-old was taking a close look at criminal activity involving bladed weapons in the last episode of his show The Kyle Files.
He was talking to a gang member who wore a balaclava and had his voice distorted so not to reveal his identity.
Jeremy was asked "where are you from", and he snapped back "what's it to you?"
The gang member did not like the tone Jeremy was using and accused him of making him look stupid in front of "his boys".
The daytime TV host asked him if he would stab him if he did not answer his questions, the gang member replied: "You don't want to turn your back on me."

Fans of the ITV documentary show loved Jeremy standing up for himself, one tweeted: "Oh boy he was vexed when Kyle said “What’s it gotta do with you.” Love it."
Another asked: "Where are Jerry's security team?"
Tonight's show also saw Jeremy accompany police on a raid and we heard harrowing account from parents who have lost their children to knife crime.
