The Jeremy Kyle Show uses Bruce Burgess to do polygraph tests A TV lie detector expert has been given a suspended 24-week prison sentence after he was caught out lying to police over a speeding ticket. Bruce Burgess, who does polygraph tests on the Jeremy Kyle Show, was snapped by a speed camera breaking the 30mph limit in Hampshire on 31 August this year. Burgess, 65, of Charles Babbage Close, Chessington, Surrey, lied to police by saying he was not the driver. Burgess admitted perverting the course of justice at an earlier hearing. The jail sentence was suspended for 12 months and he was also ordered to carry out 180 hours of community service by Portsmouth Crown Court. This started off as a speeding offence and has turned out to be a criminal matter

Pc Mick Gear Burgess was fined £250 for the speeding offence and given three points on his driving licence which caused him to be disqualified for a year. The court heard the speeding offence took place in Anglesea Road, Portsmouth. "This started off as a speeding offence and has turned out to be a criminal matter which has involved a possible prison sentence with the possible loss of livelihood and all the embarrassment that goes with that," said Pc Mick Gear. "This could have been dealt with very easily and it is just not worth the risk so my advice is to put your hands up at the first opportunity." As well as working on TV shows including The Trisha Show, The Jerry Springer Show and This Morning, Burgess works with private clients. His website offers polygraph tests, including to prove infidelity, sexual abuse and theft. The website states that he is a member of both the American Polygraph Association and the Association of British Investigators. Burgess was also ordered to pay £1,250 costs and a £15 victim surcharge.
