I've not looked at her Twitter for a while now </3


Apparently? But that averages to 150 episodes a season. The average number of episodes in the UK seasons is 170, which is also frightening

[Babayaro.]

Good. I can't stand Jeremy.

The ex wife of the guest who killed himself is happy that he’s dead. She said she “hopes he burns in hell” He was apparently abusive towards her.

His stepdaughter had a few choice words about him too,she says he would have taken his own life anyway regardless of the show as his girlfriend refused to speak to him

You should. Despite the undeserved hate it gets on here, it's actually decent.

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

[bitontheslide]

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

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

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".

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.

Image copyrightITV
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.
