The Jeremy Kyle Show bosses have asked for more time to report back on the incidents that led to the death of a guest on the show.

Ofcom Chief Executive, Sharon White, was appearing before the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee on Wednesday.

Speaking at the Committee, she revealed the broadcaster had asked for more time to ”complete their inquiries.”

This comes as Ofcom considers whether to ask shows to provide better aftercare to participants on reality TV.

The Jeremy Kyle show first aired on ITV in July 2005.
