Mum begs daughter to dump abusive partner who 'gets her pregnant so she can't leave him'

A devastated mum has pleaded with her daughter to dump her abusive partner, who she claims is getting her pregnant so she can't leave him.

Kayleigh has five children with Austin, but all of them are in care.

Her sister Lisa and mum appeared on The Jeremy Kyle Show in a desperate attempt to get Kayleigh to leave him after beating her up numerous times.

Kayleigh's mum branded Austin a "control freak" and feared that her daughter would be "dead" if she didn't leave him.

Initially Kayleigh denied that her partner was abusive, but eventually admitted that he often beat her up after he was unable to get his drugs fix.

Jeremy Kyle throws 'pitiful thugs' out of studio after furious on-stage bust-up

Crying backstage, she told host Jeremy Kyle: "He scares me."

Asked what the worst thing he had done to her, she said: "He punched me to pieces and I had to have an x-ray."

Her mum later joined her away from the stage, warning: "Get away from him or he'll kill you."

"He gets you pregnant every year so you can't find someone else," she told her daughter. "He's a control freak."

Infuriated, Jeremy yelled out towards Austin who had left the stage: "You're a little man who beats women up... by the time that this goes out no one will touch you!"

Spotting Austin looking tearful as he insisted she had been violent towards him too, Jeremy said mockingly: "He's crying now, aw tie a knot into your bits and run into the distance."

At the end of the segment, Jeremy commented on the "sadness in [her] eyes" and said that aftercare would help her.

Shockingly, the show revealed afterwards that Kayleigh and Austin were still in a relationship and that he had agreed to help from aftercare. Kayleigh has also moved back in with her mum.

*The Jeremy Kyle Show airs weekdays at 9.25am on ITV
