ITV’s most popular daytime TV show Jeremy Kyle has been cancelled following the death of a guest this week.
ITV has released a statement declaring “now is the right time” for The Jeremy Kyle Show to end. This comes after a guest took his own life after featuring on the show.
Steve Dymond, 63, was found dead at his home in Portsmouth. While on the show he was subjected to a lie detector test about infidelity towards his wife.
It is the latest controversy surrounding the show, which has constantly been plagued with accusations of bullying since its inception since 2005.
His son, Carl Dymond, told the Daily Mail that Jeremy Kyle had “ripped into him” relentlessly, while an audience guest who attended the show told the BBC it was “a very uncomfortable watch.”
ITV’s chief executive Dame Carolyn McCall said: “Given the gravity of recent events we have decided to end production of The Jeremy Kyle Show.
“The Jeremy Kyle Show has had a loyal audience and has been made by a dedicated production team for 14 years, but now is the right time for the show to end.
She added: “Everyone at ITV’s thoughts and sympathies are with the family and friends of Steve Dymond.”
ITV have confirmed that they will continue to work with Jeremy Kyle in the future.
