Jeremy Kyle show taken off air.

Could be the best news of the new week. I did watched 10 mins once a very long time ago, nothing but exploiting mental and social deficiencies solely for tv rating only. How he managed to a make a living from it beggars belief; the scrapheap is long overdue - it's where it belongs!

T.V at it's very worst.

Pulling that particular episode suggests an unfortunate death. Indefinite suspension of the whole series suggests a possible suicide. RIP in any case.

I just wonder if the person has asked for this episode not to be shown and they have refused leading to his/her death.RIP.

Think you have just answered your own question there, also they must get paid to air their dirty laundry

Dreadful programme.  Good riddance.

He has very poor presenting skills, no tact or charisma whatsoever, always spoke to his guests as if they were vermin, a lot of them you could argue were, but that's a result of the life they were born into and he should know better, it really was like a victorian freak show, people with all sorts of problems and his primary aim was to bait them to make good television, but these kind of shows lost their novelty years ago when Jerry Springer was all the rage, his stint as presenter of Good Morning Britain was terrible as well, constantly overtalking people and making the show about him.

Of course the over confidence and showmanship he displayed was because of the fact he had plenty of security men ready to step in should things get out of hand, saw a clip once of someone throwing an envelope at the back of his head which shook him lol, something like that was always bound to happen.

I remember the Jerry Springer show...somewhat similar

The best bit about that was it used to engender near punch ups,  people had to physically be kept apart

A TV insider who claims he used to work on The Jeremy Kyle Show has said the death of a recent guest is “the tip of the iceberg” and accused the programme of “exploiting” vulnerable guests.

The popular ITV daytime show was removed from the schedules today after it was revealed that a guest died shortly after filming an appearance.

ITV said it has suspended the show indefinitely so that a full investigation can be carried out.

The insider, who tweets under the handle @tvtenterhooks, claims in their bio that they “find people for TV shows” and said they worked on The Jeremy Kyle Show for six months.

“Can assure you, story is the tip of the iceberg,” they wrote. “Exploiting people with serious mental health/addiction problems. Promise ‘aftercare’ after f**king people’s lives up.”

They added: “Can’t tell you how long I’ve waited for this s**t to be investigated.”

Journalist Carole Cadwalladr and comedian Fern Brady were among others who took to social media to share their own experiences in relation to the controversial chat show.

Cadwalladr shared a piece she wrote in 2008 about the programme and said she was “amazed it took this long” for the show to have such grave effects on its subjects.

The controversy comes in the wake of increased discussion around aftercare for people who appear on television triggered by the death of Love Island contestant Mike Thalassitis, who was found dead in March at the age of 26.

Love Island has since promised to extend its support process and proactively offer help to islanders participating in the new series, which recently began filming.

ITV has been approached regarding the insider’s comments.

The broadcaster has also removed archive episodes of The Jeremy Kyle Show from the ITV Hub on demand service.

Speaking earlier today, a spokesperson said: “Everyone at ITV and The Jeremy Kyle Show is shocked and saddened at the news of the death of a participant in the show a week after the recording of the episode they featured in and our thoughts are with their family and friends.

“ITV will not screen the episode in which they featured.

“Given the seriousness of this event, ITV has also decided to suspend both filming and broadcasting of The Jeremy Kyle Show with immediate effect in order to give it time to conduct a review of this episode of the show.”

The Jeremy Kyle Show first aired in 2005 and more than 3,000 episodes have been produced to date, with Kyle pocketing £2m a year for fronting the programme.

This morning, ITV replaced the usual episode with Dickinson’s Real Deal

If Kyle was dealing with people with mental health problems....that was wrong

I am not surprised someone is dead and it was taken off

Life problems ok, as long as people were not pushed over the edge

I have not watched it for many years

My friend is now addicted to repeat showings of 'The Bill'

Sorry wrong forum. That was meant for the Ole Man Utd thread.
