Deon ‘Mad Dog’ Hulse, from Walsall, West Midlands, appeared on The Jeremy Kyle Show back in 2011 with his then-girlfriend Catherine.
He shot to notoriety following his appearance on the talk show as he had a skull inked on his face.
The tattoo fanatic starred in an episode titled ‘How Could My Boyfriend Destroy His Own Face?’.

The fundraiser bio says: “Deon Mad Dog Hulse touched a lot of people’s hearts.
“Many of us will always have a story to tell about him.
“He was a one-off a one in a trillion.”

Hulse reportedly passed away peacefully in his sleep on February 26.
Many fans have taken to social media and paid tribute to the tattoo fanatic, with one person penning: “RIP, one of my good old mates.
“Can’t believe you’re gone, sleep tight pal.”
While another person has penned: “Aw no, that’s sad to hear. RIP Mad Dog.”
Somebody else has commented: “RIP, how sad.”
During his appearance on Jeremy Kyle’s TV show, Hulse said he didn’t care what he looked like.
He told the presenter: “I don’t care what I look like.
“I am who I am, if people don’t like me for who I am, they can do one.”
Later in the show, Hulse failed a lie detector test about whether he had slept with any other women while in his relationship.
These results led Kyle to say: “You are a liar and a cheat and you look ridiculous.”
Elsewhere in the episode, Hulse’s ex says she thought he was joking when he first said he was going to get the inking.
Catherine explains: “Last week he told me he was going to have a skull tattoo on his face and I just thought he was joking.

“Off he went and came back with that completely covering his face.”
She adds: “It’s a disgrace, he’s got children to grow and he’s got to take them to school and pick them up.”
Kyle wades in and comments: “I’m slightly struggling as to why anyone would have a skull tattooed on their face.”
