The talkshow was suspended indefinitely by the broadcaster after a guest, named by the Sun as 63-year-old Steve Dymond, died a week after filming.
Mr Walker describes the show as “an unattractive form of television, based on the bullying of the weak and vulnerable. It is not compatible with a responsible society and a responsible broadcaster.”
The show has been broadcast since 2005 and is well-known for its heated debates and Kyle mediating between guests.
