A mother who kept her children in a house covered with human excrement appeared on The Jeremy Kyle Show today.
Claire Greenley, who was given an eight month suspended jail sentence a couple of months ago, was on the controversial ITV show.
Greenley, who was sentenced for child cruelty offences, was arguing on the show about whether her sister should continue in a on-off relationship with her partner and potential father of her baby, Stephen.
The Hull-based family awaited DNA test results about whether the child was Stephen’s, with explosive results.
Opening the segment before she appeared on stage, Jeremy Kyle said: “Claire is here to tell her sister’s ex Stephen that he’s nothing more than a manipulative control freak.
"Claire says that when her sister became pregnant, she told Stephen there was only a 50 per cent chance he was the father as she’d had a one night stand.
"Claire says he stood by the kid but hopes today the DNA proves he’s not the dad so all of them can be rid of him for good.”
Claire, who opened the segment alongside Kyle, described Stephen as a “bum” who sleeps all day as she explained her issues with her sister’s on-off partner.
Speaking to the host on stage, she said: “He’s on the Xbox all night and sleeps all day. She has to run around after him and get him up for appointments.
“If he stepped up he would be but if he wasn’t a bum and sat around doing nothing.”
However, her sister Natalie describes says Claire is against anyone she is with."You don’t like no one who I’m getting with at all," she said.
It turns out Stephen is not the father to Claire Greenley’s niece, DNA tests reveal. Speaking to Kyle on the programme, he said he was unsure if he could stay with her because of her family’s attitude towards him.
Greenley’s appearance on TV comes less than three months since she made headlines of her own.
Greenley, who was 35 years of age at the time of her Hull Crown Court appearance in July, had her children taken into care after she subjected them to “emotional and psychological harm" while with her.
Her home was described as having “faeces on the sink” while the bathroom had a two-and-a-half foot pile of “soiled clothing”, according to prosecutor Megan Rhys.
An upstairs window and the letter box had also been smeared with excrement in the home the judge called "squalid and unkempt from top to bottom”.
Sentencing Greenley, Judge David Tremberg said the house was "comprehensively unfit for human habitation", and was "squalid and unkempt from top to bottom, with the smell and presence of faeces about the place". He told Greenley: "From the photographs, this was more like a pigsty than a home".
When Greenley was interviewed by police, she accepted the house was uninhabitable. Greenley, who had no previous convictions, later admitted child cruelty offences.
Following her trial, Greenley was ordered to have 25 days rehabilitation, along with her two-year suspended sentence.
However that wasn’t enough to put her off the limelight.
The Jeremy Kyle Show airs weekdays at 9.25am on ITV.
