Jeremy Kyle show suspended after death of guest (AXED)

[Cal.]

The Jeremy Kyle Show has been pulled from TV screens and suspended indefinitely after the death of a guest who appeared in an episode.

ITV bosses said they would not screen the episode which featured the individual. The person died a week after the recording.

ITV bosses said "their thoughts are with their family and friends."

An ITV spokeswoman 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."

Viewers first noticed the show was axed this morning when they tuned in to watch.

One person wrote online: "Anyone got it? Any explanation?"

Another wrote: "Where the hell is Jeremy Kyle this morning?"

This morning's programme, that was due to be aired at 930am today, was replaced at short notice with an episode of Dickinson's Real Deal.

Shook!

[Niamh.]

Was it something to do with the show or what?

[Ammi]

The Jeremy Kyle Show has been pulled from TV schedules today because a guest died shortly after filming.

ITV viewers were surprised to see the popular chat show replaced by a rerun of Dickinson’s Real Deal on Monday morning, but it emerged that bosses had decided not to air the episode out of respect for the guest.

The show is said to have ceased filming until a review of the episode can be carried out, so the programme will be off air indefinitely.

A spokesperson for ITV 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.”

It's awful really, it's "lets laugh and take the piss out of these uneducated commoners" Jeremy Kyle is vile as well

[Braden]

I've always said that Jeremy Kyle is exploitative garbage. This and Judge Rinder should be taken off air.

[bots]

it must be about duty of care. They need to stop creating villains for sensationalist amusement

[Livia]

Last week when I said people would look back in the future in horror at some shows that attracted huge audiences, this will be one of them

I agree. The Jeremy Kyle Show is the up-to-date version of Victorian freak shows and tours of mental asylums.

[Niamh.]

I agree. The Jeremy Kyle Show is the up-to-date version of Victorian freak shows and tours of mental asylums.

And it seems like alot of his guests probably do have mental health issues, it's really unethical and uncomfortable to watch

And it seems like alot of his guests probably do have mental health issues, it's really unethical and uncomfortable to watch

I don't think I've ever seen an episode where the "guests" weren't addicts / learning disabled / mentally ill. Awful stuff.

[Kazanne]

I don't mind Jeremy Kyle, he does help a lot of the drug users and has some really nice shows on where they treat kids with special needs, some of the guests though are well dodgy,it was always going to happen.

[Strictly Jake]

I've always said that Jeremy Kyle is exploitative garbage. This and Judge Rinder should be taken off air.

And all the benefit programs and things like can't pay we'll take it away. These programs are cruel to be shown as entertainment

[arista]

Yes a Death of a person under his care.
So its normal to stop the show
a first for him.

But he has Helped some, at least

[Cherie]

It's awful really, it's "lets laugh and take the piss out of these uneducated commoners" Jeremy Kyle is vile as well

He is always so sanctimonious as well...look at me I would never treat my mother, brother, child like you do, I would do...blah blah blah...**** off

I agree. The Jeremy Kyle Show is the up-to-date version of Victorian freak shows and tours of mental asylums.

That is exactly what it is

[arista]

ITV will not air the Episode
so only they will know
I guess it will be on a Front Page tomorrow.

[Liam-]

While the show has done some good for people, getting them sober and clean, I can’t stand the show, it’s like a parade to make everyone watching feel better about themselves.

Don’t even get me started on Jeremy himself, a smug, arrogant, self obsessed, obnoxious hypocrite, awful man that doesn’t deserve exposure.

[Niamh.]

He is always so sanctimonious as well...look at me I would never treat my mother, brother, child like you do, I would do...blah blah blah...**** off



That is exactly what it is

I wouldn't mind but his own love life history isn't exactly squeaky clean either

[arista]

"This morning's programme, that was due to be aired at 930am today, was replaced at short notice with an episode of Dickinson's Real Deal"


How nice for the biddies

[Liam-]

He’s a former gambling addict, that nearly lost his family everything they owned, treating other addicts like scum of the earth, it’s the height of hypocrisy.

[Cherie]

apparently the biddies were tweeting their disgust and tweeting about the absence of JK :laugh:

[Nick.]

No one panic, Danniella Westbrook & Christopher Maloney have 'confirmed' that the show will back on. I'm sure we all can't wait to watch.

No..is that the lady who won 4 million on a scratchcard?

[Livia]

I've seen it where someone fails a lie detector test and denies they are guilty, and he screams in their face "You're a liar pal!" and asks them how they explain the lie detector result. I'd like to field that one Jeremy... Lie detectors are not accurate enough to be used as evidence in a court of law. Also, when people get a bit aggressive and he squares up to them and calls them names... from behind big Steve.

Died a week after it was recorded, ITV1HD news said

[Kazanne]

Well the weirdest thing is my friend has just posted who it is, but not sure I can relay it all, the person was ill last week with chest pains and died suddenly she was supposed to appear today,I have more info but am I allowed to post it ,not sure on the protocol with such things.Well it seems its in the media anyway now

People have already posted who it is, unless that's wrong info?

Yes just this minute seen that ,Melissa Ede, she had tests for chest pains but was given the all clear apparently ,my friend lives in Hull,where this lady won a lottery ticket ,she was a bit of a character by all accounts

[Kazanne]

Chris Maloney and Daniela Westbrook are on? Cancel it permanently

Some people have demons and issues , Liam , not everyone copes with life as well as most , I don't know about Danielle , but I do know for a fact Christopher is a lovely caring person who has issues with his looks due to what other people have said .

Well it could also be said he goes hard on them as he knows exactly what can happen,he has never hidden the fact he was an addict but he sorted himself so maybe his cruel to be kind attitude could help turn someones life around.

[Kazanne]

I don't think Jeremy Kyle is the place for him then?

Maybe not ,I guess he thinks its the right thing for him though, it may help some people understand what led to his surgeries.

[Cherie]

I dont know anything about him other than when he was on the X and CBB, just think JK is the last show to go on as its basically where people tune in to laugh at you, I guess he was paid for the gig

I don't watch it like I used to Cherie, its all a bit samey , prefer to watch Jeremy Vine on 5 , I used to watch it a lot ,he could be very harsh on some of them but some of them really deserved it, but one or two I did feel sorry for.

[GoldHeart]

Why is this cringe garbage show still on !!! :facepalm: :bored:

Ever since Jeremy turned it more into a freak show to laugh at toothless chavs on benefits I tuned out .
I already hated the show and how Jeremy interrupts & shouts over people with his self entitled rants. And his repetitive catchphrases of "put something on the end of it " & "I'm going to lie in a dark room " & "they should be at work" .

And it got even more ridiculous when he kept dragging the bodyguard "Steve" into his discussions just to embarass him as he knows he can get away with it ,when in reality if Steve WASN'T working for Jeremy then he'd easily slam dunk him on the ground .

The lie detectors AREN'T 100% , yes liars will get arrogant & try and beat the test but no matter what Jeremy accuses them & screams at them .

The guests on the show are usually uneducated & just shout & scream & he reacts by acting just as childish & annoying .

And I don't find the jokes funny ,even the audience see the guests as a laughing stock .

[Rob!]

It's literally the worst show on televison and Kyle is one of the biggest wankers walking so this is no bad thing. A shame someone had to die to make the big wigs at ITV see sense.

[Scarlett.]

I hope the show isn't brought back, I once went to see an episode being filmed at Granada Studios with college, the disdain he has for the people who come on his show is kinda disgusting, he was making jokes about them before they came on, really didn't like him after that. Sure the people who come on his show can be a bit of a mess, but they're still people.

[Greg!]

Vile show hosted by a vile man. Hope it’s never brought back.

All episodes have been removed from the ITV Hub apparently

[Beso]

Thank God it's axed...

My job sometimes entails soak testing high end 4k and 8k tvs...75inchers..this is not a show to watch with a nice quality finish to the picture.


Rip the person who died...unless you were a pedo, then **** off to hell mother ****er.

Only if it's a vulnerable wee lassie liv.:wavey:

[Cherie]

if the guest died of natural causes I don't see what it has to do with the show, but good that its off air for now

[GiRTh]

Pull the show. Horrendous programme.

[Kazanne]

if the guest died of natural causes I don't see what it has to do with the show, but good that its off air for now

All I heard from my friend in Hull (where this woman is well known)is that she went for tests for chest pains last week but was given the all clear so not sure what that has to do with the show if true,maybe it was their medics that gave her the all clear :shrug:

[Amy Jade]

if the guest died of natural causes I don't see what it has to do with the show, but good that its off air for now

this

not even against the show ending but it's like cancelling Corrie if a cast member passes away. it doesn't make much sense to me and I actually feel sorry for the production team if it is over how many have lost their jobs?

[Kazanne]

wonder if they will pull Judge Rinder and others she has appeared on.and youtube have vids

[Jack_]

Horrendous exploitative poverty porn, it should've ended years ago

[rusticgal]

It’s a show that plays on the weak and vulnerable...for entertainment value. It’s trash television and even if it isn’t the cause of this persons death..let’s put an end to it.

[Amy Jade]

A man commited suicide after failing lie detector

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7025005/Pictured-Grandfather-62-killed-week-humiliated-Jeremy-Kyle.html

[Denver]

So it seems a coincidence that Melissa died today as the person it referred to was a man whose ex says he died of a overdose days after failing a lie detector

[Kazanne]

Surely that woman (his girlfriend)should have known or been told lie detectors are not 100% and from reading the story she never even gave him a chance to even talk to her ,she could at least have give him the benefit of the doubt, I do think the show should maybe be pulled now as other shows that prey on the public who are not used to TV and being filmed and are vunerable , it was debated on LBC last night and it was said other programs like Love Island , Loose Women , Judge Rinder , This Morning , Lorraine and Towie and the likes, I think ITV etc,will now have to be very careful what they produce.

[Vanessa]

They could just do the show without the lie detector? :shrug:

[Kazanne]

They could just do the show without the lie detector? :shrug:

If it comes back Vanessa it would have to be in a very different format, I remember when Jerry Springer actually had fights on his show.

[Cherie]

It's time for this type of show to just fade away imo, how it has gone on so long without something like this happening before is anyones guess

[thesheriff443]

A guess a man overdosed a week after failing a lie detector test that’s the reason it’s been suspended.

[Vanessa]

If it comes back Vanessa it would have to be in a very different format, I remember when Jerry Springer actually had fights on his show.

Jerry springer show was so funny :joker: and I don't believe they had any problems.

[Shaun]

Jerry springer show was so funny :joker: and I don't believe they had any problems.

Having problems and not caring about problems are completely different things.

[bots]

they fundamentally just need to get rid of this type of trash TV

[Vanessa]

Having problems and not caring about problems are completely different things.

No, I mean it was just people arguing basically. But Jerry was funny. A different show.

[joeysteele]

It's time for this type of show to just fade away imo, how it has gone on so long without something like this happening before is anyones guess

I couldn't bear this show and Kyle often got my back up even years ago watching it.
His unbending insistence the lie detectors are right infuriating.

I agree with your strong point of it running as long without something happening like this, especially if it's a suicide.

They should scrap it totally and never open the risk of it happening again.

I think it was a mixture of real & fake and all outrageous .

Well there I no denying the facts , Love Island should be pulled aswell , it's difficult though as humans are complex and if they are that way inclined almost anything could trigger them off , it maybe nothing to do with the shows , but I suppose you have to err on the side of caution.

Hopkins is right sorry.

[James]

Yeah, it's kind of lucky, to be honest, ther wasn't a suicide with Big Brother, when you hear some of the stories from the ex-housemates.

[Greg!]

I get that point there's a big difference. People go on BB and LI for fame / love / the experience. Whereas people (usually vunerable) go on Jeremy Kyle to air their dirty laundry on TV and potentially ruin their or someone else's family or relationship in front of 1million+ viewers.

It does seem like a silly and irrational decision on ITV's part when you fail to highlight JK has been heavily criticised for well over a decade for it's treatment of guests and this suicide was likely the straw the broke the camels back.

[Amy Jade]

I get that point there's a big difference. People go on BB and LI for fame / love / the experience. Whereas people (usually vunerable) go on Jeremy Kyle to air their dirty laundry on TV and potentially ruin their or someone else's family or relationship in front of 1million+ viewers.

People go on Jeremy Kyle for the same reasons.

I know someone who did it, she literally just wanted to be on telly. Heard some say they got paid but she never - she got free transport, put up in a hotel for 2 days and was given an open bar tab and she kept ringing saying she wanted cigs and they sent her at least 200 over those two days.

[Amy Jade]

^ That woman was given after care aswell. I know her granddaughter.

[JerseyWins]

For anyone that would happen to know... is this more of a "Dr. Phil" or "Jerry Springer" kind of show? Because I like Jerry Springer but can't stand Dr. Phil.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure these "talk show" types are totally scripted. :shrug: That was always my assumption :think:

[Amy Jade]

I'd say it's closer to Maury/Springer

[bots]

Hopkins argument as usual is just wrong.

Only one death after 1000's of shows is just no justification for it being acceptable.

[Ammi]

Yeah I was thinking this earlier, I'm not sure about criticising JK as exploitative television when we are on a forum dedicated to Big Brother as well tbh :unsure:

...yeah this really...He’s not someone I have watched much of because of his character../...because of the contemptuous way he is with his guests, as if they are lesser than him and yet these are the people who have created his earnings...it’s exploitative for sure but..(...especially over the later years...)...Big Brother was right up there in the land of exploitative and it was something I still watched ...

[Kazanne]

I am going to go right against most thoughts on here ,I do acknowledge Jeremy Kyle could be harsh and overbearing at times BUT I don't think it's right to blame him for this death or make it a reason to vent how he's hated so much, We know nothing about the guy who killed himself ,for all we know he could have done it because the woman in question would not speak to him after he had asked if they could talk, and now she is seen crying and distressed saying how much she loved him, so why did she not give him the benefit of the doubt and speak to him,plus his stepdaughter has apparently said it was not Kyles fault and has spoken to the press about her father and it's not all good, I watched a debate this morning which also names the tabloids for doing exactly the same , printing people's life's stories with NO aftercare and no permission from the people they choose at all and not giving them a chance to answer back they have also ruined lives, This guy was vetted by the Kyle show ,he also had a doctors certificate, so it seems he was not just thrown in the ring, these people WANT to be on TV for whatever reason and will do anything to get there, people just seem to be on the bandwagon now,it seems it's not about this guy just about how much they hate Jeremy Kyle, I don't hate him I have no reason to and I do hope other shows and tabloids etc all get pulled up on what they are exploiting,The tabloids imo are just hypocrites.MTV is right ,BB was also an exploitative show

[MTVN]

I get that point there's a big difference. People go on BB and LI for fame / love / the experience. Whereas people (usually vunerable) go on Jeremy Kyle to air their dirty laundry on TV and potentially ruin their or someone else's family or relationship in front of 1million+ viewers.

Many who appeared on BB were also quite obviously vulnerable though and had issues and while its not the stated purpose of the show their dirty laundry definitely still gets aired across the course of the series.. I think going on BB or LI can do more damage to someone's life than going on JK can. At least with JK they do actually offer serious and professional support to people who appear on their program and for some people going on there gives them an opportunity to get issues addressed with they otherwise wouldn't

Some of it is definitely uncomfortable but I'm not sure where you draw the line if you start saying it shouldn't be aired..

[Ammi]

...although it’s not the purpose of ‘reality’ shows as such...I can’t see that they are reality anymore...they grew as something more ‘fly on the wall’..but now they’re all very much edited so the producers get to play ‘God’ in terms of how the contestants are viewed by the public...for some they show more best bits and for others they show more ‘worst’ bits ....and that’s something the contestants can’t really prepare for...how they’re edited...I mean, what could be more exploitative than that...

[Ammi]

...for me it’s what killed BB...they created ‘villains’ and then just left them there for the public to hate over...

[Kazanne]

I see they are coming out the woodwork now,some guests who previously said nothing are saying how the show ruined their lives, really ? lol Wonder if there is money involved here and the tabloids lap it up, when they do even worse,it's farcical.

[thesheriff443]

Trisha Goddard has said, let’s face it it’s never about the guests.

I have to agree, it’s the english version of Gerry springer.

The only thing missing was the women showing there tits to get Jeremy beads.

[Matthew.]

For anyone that would happen to know... is this more of a "Dr. Phil" or "Jerry Springer" kind of show? Because I like Jerry Springer but can't stand Dr. Phil.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure these "talk show" types are totally scripted. :shrug: That was always my assumption :think:

Yeah a bit like that. Closer to Jerry Springer in that it’s a more hostile environment. There was a Jeremy Kyle Show USA made a few years back too

[Kazanne]

Been debated again now on Channel 5, 3 of the panel have said they had excellent care and it's unfair to target Kyle himself, which I agree with.Wasn't there a show in America Jenny Jones ,which one of her guests shot someone.

I remember that, I mean that kind of proves these shows (most of them anyway) are exploitative and irresponsible, doesn't it? It's like poking the fire with people who are, alot of times, already struggling mentally and have anger/drug issues. And I don't know how anyone could defend Jeremy Kyle, the way he speaks to and treats his guests is disgustingly arrogant and callous, he's by far the worst of any of the talk show hosts in that respect imo

[Amy Jade]

I think some are a bit snooty about Jeremy Kyle really. Yep they do kind of humiliate people but they have helped loads get off drugs. I watched one when a guy was doing coke every single day. They sent him to rehab and he was back on months later clean and he had changed his life.

It's not all messy imho

Oh no, taking it off air is the right decision, not just because of the suicide, but because it’s garbage :laugh:

It just shows that people in power pick and choose when to care about mental health, mainly if it benefits them or not

[Ammi]

... perhaps they were looking to axe it anyway...I don’t feel they would have made the decision so quickly if they weren’t feeling it had run it’s course ..this has just highlighted something though, which I fear is just going to be brushed aside now as being a Jeremy Kyle Show specific thing when it really isn’t...

I agree, he has done loads of good for families,druggies and the like,but all that gets put aside as people just don't like HIM, these people are not forced to go on, many go back several times, I would defend him on that , I just hope the tabloids take a good look at some of the vunerable people they have destroyed who have no comeback or aftercare.It's been pulled now anyway so lets find something else to complain about. I just find it all so hypocritical, when we are fans of so many reality shows.

Yeah I do think there's an element of snobbishness to it because the guests are often poorly educated and from lower class backgrounds, I know they sort of play on that and it becomes a bit of an object of mockery but still - you can cancel Jeremy Kyle but its not going to erase people like that from society and if they're people who can't or won't seek help through the normal routes available then why not use the show to try and sort out their issues

[Morgan.]

I don't know how true it is but didn't Aaron BB12 claim that several of the BB12 housemates had attempted suicide as well

I think JK should of been AXED years ago ! It's a toxic freak show that people laugh at ,lie detectors are NOT 100% yet Mr self righteous likes to always blame the guest :bored:.

But no doubt they'll continue to air this crap program ! , they've only temporarily suspended it.

[Greg!]

Many who appeared on BB were also quite obviously vulnerable though and had issues and while its not the stated purpose of the show their dirty laundry definitely still gets aired across the course of the series.. I think going on BB or LI can do more damage to someone's life than going on JK can. At least with JK they do actually offer serious and professional support to people who appear on their program and for some people going on there gives them an opportunity to get issues addressed with they otherwise wouldn't

Some of it is definitely uncomfortable but I'm not sure where you draw the line if you start saying it shouldn't be aired..

Oh yeah I totally agree with you, BB wasn't perfect either especially during it's peak. People such as Shahbaz should never have been allowed on. They're very lucky that none of the HMs from 19 series have ever harmed themselves.

But Jeremy Kyle is a whole different kettle of fish. Pretty much all of the guests had some sort of mental condition, addiction or illness, and the producers encouraged conflict between feuding families backstage and apparently plied them with alcohol before they went on. The 'aftercare' really isn't up to scratch either according to recent stories. It's exploitative and cruel and it's the right decision to axe it.

Well some accounts have also said the aftercare and before care was second to none so lets balance that one out and imo Jeremy Kyle is not as bad as BB as their ordeals can go on for days,BB are the ones who ply people with alcohol and put them in situations that will see feuds play out day after day,and its hard to walk away from,the people who go on JK are not forced to, they have to have doctors certificates and the like and I simply do not believe the JK show plies anyone with alcohol ,that was probably someone who just didn't get what they wanted on the show,but I do think it's day had come.

Good riddance. One of the worst shows on television and Kyle is one of Britain’s biggest pricks.

I've never watched one show but know the types of people it featured. I don't think its a loss to broadcasting and its terribly sad that a man has taken his life seemingly because of it but I am sure there were other factors at play in his life too from what I have read.

Jeremy Kyle is massively annoying too

Yeah you're correct.

Police fear Allister Logue, who was seen by millions of viewers on launch night in June hoping to be picked as a contestant, might have taken his own life.

The Ibiza party lover and club organiser stood in the crowd waiting to hear his fate next to Irish babe Caoimhe Guilfoyle, 22.She was chosen to go in the house with fellow wannabes including John James Parton, 24, Josie Gibson, 25, and Corin Forshaw, 29, but gutted Allister, 56, was sent home.

Now fans of the show, hosted by Davina McCall, 42, have been shocked to learn he has apparently killed himself.

Last night a British Transport Police spokesman said: “Officers attended Charing Cross London Underground station after a report that a man had been struck by a train. The incident is currently being treated as non-suspicious.”

[Tony Montana]

I don't know how true it is but didn't Aaron BB12 claim that several of the BB12 housemates had attempted suicide as well

Yeah, he did.

Big Brother winner Aaron Allard-Morgan has claimed that four previous housemates have attempted suicide.

The champion of Channel 5's first regular series last year also criticised the lack of aftercare that was available to housemates after the show finished, and said that he "fears" for this year's crop of hopefuls.I genuinely fear for them, they don't realise what they're letting themselves in for," he told The Wright Stuff.

"They give you very little preparation for what's likely to happen. From my year, with the 15 of us, I know that four of them have tried to commit suicide after the show just because of the ramifications and impact that it has on your life.

"You're not prepared and you don't have the aftercare that perhaps you should be getting afterwards. The people that are going in tomorrow, they're not gonna hear this."

However, he did not mention which housemates he was referring to while speaking on the Channel 5 talk show. https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/reality-tv/a385287/big-brother-winner-aaron-four-housemates-have-attempted-suicide/

[James]

One of the problems with the way the Big Brother experience was reported, was that the housemates that you heard from after the show, and in later years, were generally the ones that had got opportunities in the media off the back of the show, and made some money. So they weren't likely to criticise the experience.

The housemates that went back to normal lives didn't have access to the media to tell their story, so the public didn't necessarily hear the negative side of it.

I mean, I don't believe that story AT ALL. It's just too ridiculous for words. Why would you come on national television to discover something like this? It just doesn't ring true. And, even say it is. Look at Kyle reveling in the devastation he has just reaped upon their lives. Dramatic pauses, leaning forward to really soak in their expressions as he says it, asking them stupid questions like "Did you ever believe that could be possible?" Thank God this ****e is off the air now.

[Ant.]

In all seriousness, they did revisit the same stories didn't they? So there clearly was some level of aftercare there? There always seemed to be nice episodes here and there where Jeremy seems sympathetic and offers help. Whether that help's good or not is up for debate (although from the sounds of things it isn't) but I can only wonder if that help was given to everyone (and when you think of how many guests there are, is it possible for all of them to be properly supported?)

I do agree with you, I really doubt it was some mere coincidence. Why they'd fake it for attention I have no idea, but you articulated the video perfectly in a way I couldn't. It's kind of harrowing that Jeremy lacks such basic empathy and compassion he was simply revelling in the drama of it all rather than the heartbreak and feelings of the two men (fake or not, Jeremy would have no way of knowing. It's borderline frightening this is how he acts in a calm, non-hostile situation)

To be honest, I think it's more just that the press attention shone a spotlight on a show that's been exploiting the addicted, the mentally ill, and the vulnerable for over a decade for cheap entertainment. It's LONG past time it was axed. And long past time that other reality TV shows were held to higher standards when it comes to the selection of contestants and aftercare.

Big Brother has had countless people on who were clearly not mentally equipped to handle it - and CBB has been even worse at times.

Absolutely.

A big part of the reason I stopped watching X Factor infact was the "****" auditions, alot of those people also seemed to have mental health issues and they were put up there to be laughed and jeered at, it didn't sit well with me at all

[bots]

i'm delighted its been axed. I think it encourages the wrong mentality in viewers. I also think it's right and proper that all these types of shows are investigated further.

There's multiple stories coming out now about what the Jeremy Kyle show was actually like to work on. Some ex production staff saying that guests were encouraged to get pissed before 9 in the morning, to dress as awfully as they could, some even given outfits to wear. Then, the researcher's jobs was to goad them to the point where they were so furious by the time they went on stage that fights were inevitable. There is nothing in that that suggests a show that was designed to help people. Kyle is also apparently as big a dick as he comes across, barking orders at production staff etc.
The fact that it's supposed to be mental health awareness week, something that ITV seems keen to highlight, then someone kills themselves after appearing on a show where it's not uncommon for the host to stand there and verbally abuse them, no wonder it's been pulled and wipled from exisitance.

I doubt BB would have survived this anyway if it had still been on air. I suspect the complaints would have come in ten times worse for brand new reasons. Public perception is changing and those shows are suddenly being seen as cruel and exihibitionary.

[montblanc]

so glad it's axed even though sometimes i do watch the clips on youtube when i'm bored :shame:

these kind of shows are tragic and i wish the ones here in America like Maury, Steve Wilkos, etc. get cancelled soon too

[Rob!]

Below is a glimpse of what it's like to work on the programme from a former employee, who wants to remain anonymous:

I have a confession to make. I worked on The Jeremy Kyle Show.

I was what the TV industry calls a runner - someone who, funnily enough, runs about the place fetching food for crew members, making tea and coffee and looking after guests coming onto the programme.

I did it for a month about three years ago and had also been working on other programmes before I came to Kyle.

"Studio days", when the live audience are there and the programme is recorded, were really long. There was no leaving the building unless it was to get the director a katsu curry, or to calm down a guest by taking them outside for a cig.

I saw things that you would never imagine happening on any other TV programme - guests running around the place uncontrollably, screaming and swearing at production crew. Guests and producers would argue and you can guarantee a guest would tell you "where to go".

Image caption
Television runners are rarely seen without a headset (file picture)
Runners were given a headset and clipboard that opened up - a useful place to store a pack of 20 cigarettes - and a lighter for guests who wanted a smoke before and after recordings.

The cigarettes were provided by ITV, because guests can't bring them in the studio.

Guests were put up in a hotel close to the studio, sometimes with access to a mini bar so they could get wasted the night before.

A friend who also worked on the show told me guests from the programme were banned from certain hotels because rooms were being trashed.

Runners now have to ferry people to and from a hotel miles away from the studio in taxis.

The clothes you see the guests wear are sometimes not their own. The show might give them a basic jeans and T-shirt combo or sometimes a more stereotypical tracksuit and hoodie look - and those have to be given back afterwards.

Guests had separate hotel rooms, dressing rooms, and green rooms - and their assigned runner on studio day would walk them around via selected coloured corridors to avoid contact.

Runners would warn colleagues through the headset that they were taking their guest through the yellow corridor to make-up, for example. If you had the guest on the opposing side, you knew to use the blue corridor to avoid any conflict - producers wanted any arguments saved for the actual programme.

Amol Rajan: The Jeremy Kyle Show faces tough questioning
Producers and researchers would be talking to guests for hours before the show began, passing information across. I heard them saying things like, "You won't believe what I just heard your fella say to me just now".

On one occasion I was in the dressing room and overheard a producer tell a guest that their girlfriend had called them a "slag". This was normal - you didn't even question it.

Just before going on-air, the producer or researcher stood with guests just inches away from where they would meet Jezza for the first (and probably last) time, and say one final remark.

I once heard a producer tell a guest: "We don't want you to be violent - but you do whatever you need to do out there."

Sometimes, if guests don't like the way Jeremy has treated them or the show hasn't gone their way, they could get aggressive and even violent towards production staff.

Producers suddenly changed their tune if that happened.

Jeremy once called a guest I was looking after a liar because he failed a lie-detector test.

The guest stormed off stage, pushed me over and the producer ran after them, screaming at them to come back.

I remember them saying something along the lines of… "You can't go. Have you forgotten what she said about you? Get back in there and tell her what you think!"

Radio 1 Newsbeat contacted ITV about the claims made in this article by the former employee. A spokesman says it does "not recognise this characterisation" of The Jeremy Kyle Show.

In a more general statement to the BBC, ITV said The Jeremy Kyle Show "has significant and detailed duty of care processes in place for contributors pre, during and post show".

ITV says its "guest welfare team" - made up of a consultant psychotherapist and three mental health nurses - looks after people coming onto the show.

Wow.

I think they need to realise that it was axed because people finally acknowledged what it has always been. Not because of this one incident.

[Niamh.]

Just please never bring this vile production back again.

It was awful and unnecessary.

Yes, the people they got to rehabilitation centres, who stuck at it, that was the better side.

However the whole process of the production was confrontational moreso from the presenter than anyone else.

This production and how he portrayed himself deserve the shaming of and axeing of the whole sorry mess it was.

A girl who worked as a show researcher on this came and temped for me after the show was axed and sadly took her own life after all the fallout. She was lovely, it was very sad :sad:
