In what might have been one of the most explosive episodes to date, Jeremy Kyle's bouncer had to stop a mother from kicking her pregnant daughter.
Today's episode of the show saw Lisa accused by her mother and sister of taking cocaine - despite being 26 weeks pregnant.
While the family were screaming and swearing during a row backstage, mother Claire attempted to kick her pregnant daughter.
Luckily Jeremy's quick-thinking bouncer stepped in to prevent the attack.
Lisa, who is expecting her first child, was on the show because her family believe she is putting her unborn child in danger by taking drugs.
The episode, which was filled with expletives and loud screaming for its entirety, escalated quickly when Security Steve had to step in.
After the dramatic near-miss, Jeremy said: 'You do that, then we’re going to get in trouble.'
It seems her sister Lauren had also tried to lash out, although it wasn't captured on camera.
But Jeremy was heard asking her: 'Did you try and kick her then? Did you? Oi, listen to me.
'I will have you like… gone. You don't kick out at her, if you have an argument to make you make it verbally not physically. Do you understand?'
He then asked Lauren: 'Do you care about that child? Then you don't kick her do you?'
The show ended with Jeremy asking Lisa: 'What do you want?'
Crying, she replied: 'To be left alone by them. All they've done is threaten me all the time Jeremy.
'And I've been telling them "just leave me alone, let me get on with my life and make my own mistakes".'
As the segment continued, viewers flocked to Twitter to share their concern about the family's actions.
While some were concerned by the attempted attack by Lisa's mother and sister, many had little sympathy for her.
Describing the episode as 'horrible' one viewer insisted there's no excuse for taking cocaine, drinking alcohol or smoking during pregnancy.
Others despaired over the fact that so many people are 'desperate' for children, while Lisa doesn't seem to appreciate how lucky she is to be pregnant.
