Until a review is completed 'I don't think the programme should return' - MP DamianCollins, chair of culture select committee, on death of Jeremy Kyle show guest

An MP who has spoken openly about his own mental health issues has urged ITV to axe The Jeremy Kyle show for good.

, Dymond's fiancee Jane Callaghan said:"I know we split up a week ago but we were together for two years. He was still my fiancé. I still loved him."All previous episodes of the show have also been taken down from the channel's catch-up service, ITV Hub. Episodes will also not air on ITV2. "Societally, we have a responsibility for why this TV is made, it's a reflection of ourselves that it has been made and so many people watch it.Labour MP for Sunderland Central, Julie Elliott, agreed the programme should be culled:"I have grave concerns, and have had for some time, about the way shows like the Jeremy Kyle Show appear to exploit the most vulnerable in society.

"About a week before there was a lot of phone contact… with the production team… [they asked] is there anything you don't want to talk about or you do want to talk about? It was constant up until the recording. They talked you through everything step by step.""Once I left the studio the contact did kind of stop... but if I'd had any issues [maybe] it have carried on."

Mr Collins told the BBC that the DCMS select committee would be discussing what should be done to review the duty of care for people appearing in reality TV shows during a private meeting on Wednesday.A spokesperson for media watchdog Ofcom said:"This is clearly a very distressing case. Although we can only assess content that has been broadcast, we are discussing this programme with ITV as a priority to understand what took place.

This is great coming from the only MP to write a letter to accept a 11%pay rise .

So why is Love Island still allowed to air after 2 of their contestants committed suicide?

See politicians out in force. The muppets of Westminster would be a great show. Half of them are worse than most people of jeremykyle

brian_belo Same for love island then that’s had double the deaths 💅🏻 can’t have one rule for one show and another rule for another

I am not fan of the show but it does a lot of good work with addicts and lost family members.

The Jeremy Kyle show was put on at 9:25 giving the chavs time to drop the kids off at school, go to asda for their fags, cider and crisps(for the kids tea). It should never come back it incited violence and animosity towards people.

Ok great this fool can also take love island (no wait the show that everyone more or less loves which helps no one is going to stay on whilst the jeremy kyle show that HAS helped people gets to be cancelled?) someone tell me the logic in that

It never had any place in society . It’s a stain on our country’s values that JeremyKyleITV1 wasn’t banned from the very start . Someone should be in jail for cynically and deliberately goading the vulnerable which led to this recent suicide.

It should have been taken off ages ago because it is shit

Britain's got talent and xfactor making fun of people !

I listened to this , what an imbecile he was ,saying you are a disgrace then left ,wat was the good in that!

Uk suicide rate is 16 per 100000. Jeremy Kyle's guests suicide rate is around 3 per 100000 (3320 shows, average 10 guests per show). Statistically non guests more likely to commit suicide jeremykyle

Oh shut up you look a very dodgy man anyway

They should ban Love Island as well!!

It's utter shite, cancel it!

Silly class prejudiced twerp There have been 25000 guests on the show over 16 seasons You are virtue signalling

Far better to remove the TVs from the one million people who regularly watch TheJeremyKyleShow

The government ruling wot we F king watch on tv. F off

SHAME WE THE PUBLIC CANT AXE THE MP WHO SLEEP WHILE DEBATING THE COUNTRIES FUTURE. 50% SLEEP. GET REAL CHARLES WALKER. FACEBOOK IS FAR WORSE THAN JK SHOW.

And you know what's really bad about all this ? that it has taken something like this to happen before re thinking this show.

The guy has committed an offence and tried to cover it up. Yes that doesn't deserve losing his life but nobody has forced him to do anything he has done. I do hope it means people will be looked out for better from now on, but to axe the show is a bit OTT. IMO. JeremyKyle

Are MPs really talking about JK?🤦🏻‍♂️ Do we shut people's places of work down after people commit suicide due to stress in that workplace? The guy went on a show knowing he'd done wrong he must have known he was going to look stupid Infront of many people.

Well it’s about time this sort of crap is cut period! Kyle has made money from vulnerable people long enough with his big mouth & intimidation, forcing a reaction for the viewers! These people don’t need his help, he just makes things worse for them! 👀

He just doesn't want to see the oiks on the Tele. These people still exist they don't dissapear because you can't see them. Free choice for them to be Jeremy Kyled.

Show was awful, however, all these kind of rubbish should now be taken off air. Britains Got Talent, always the potential for individual(s) who've been rejected to take drastic steps! Love Island apparantly has lost 2 contestants in a 2 year period, why no concerns with that?

It's a shame that Charles Walker threw such a wobbly on theJeremyVine show and walked off mid interview. Complete inability to listen, argue and understand...it completely undermined his position. What a shame but representative of the majority of our political class.

It's had no place on my tv since it's inception.. bagofshitetv

'I can't face life without you': Last text of grandfather, 62, who 'killed himself with morphine overdose' after being dumped over failing Jeremy Kyle lie detector test - as ITV takes show off air

Shame really always made me feel good about my life 🤣🤣🤣

Let's look at all the trashy programmes Kyle,Love Island, Big Brother, the only way is Essex Katy Price and co ALL A LOAD OF SHITE TO FUEL DISTORTED LIFE FOR THE LOW LIFE TO THINK THAT THEY ALL CAN MAKE A FORTUNE DOING SWEET FA

Only watched it once when to my shock one of my child protection families ( child health nurse at the time) were on! Talk about exploiting the vulnerable!

BBCPolitics We're all to blame for watching it. Makes us feel better about our own lives.

It preys on the gullible and weak to make money....should have been banned years ago. The fact it gets awards sickens me.

BBCPolitics Absolutely right. ITV should not allow it on air again and the BBC should take their Britain hating friend, Fatarge, off air as well!

This had no place on TV in the first place. itv axe love island also. While your at it get rid of Britain's got no talent , the voice

People must watch these shows for them to keep airing. All the people on here moaning are obviously not their audience. How many people who watch Kyle want it cancelled?

Are they going to take love island off air as well

Love island needs axing also. Trash TV . Chav city

Sadly they’ll just replace it with the same ugly show because that’s what makes money.

Yes Yes Yes Get it OFF

Let’s just take everything off the fucking tv....it’s ruining people’s lives

BBCPolitics Was he declared fit for work ? 120.000 people dead already. Shut your lying hole about being concerned. You’re not.

Love island?

For Anna Soubry sake put it to a people's vote.

She's got a point.....

None of the voyeuristic shows do. Tv execs have found the solution for all these years to make money on the backs of every day 'regular folks' instead of actually spending money to create nice shows... They are all bad for everyone's health and taste.

The shows rubbish, I’d never watch it. It’s therefore important that we jump to conclusions without any facts

Shouldn’t the most most pernicious threats to society be banned from public appearances any capacity: politicians? Some, Charles Walker, consistently vote against improving public health and welfare, but want to introduce censorship. Why? So. He can hide his record? newsnight

It never has. American trash TV.

Only saw a few minutes of the show a couple of times, it was rubbish but, as far as I know, people appear on the show by choice. Also, the death didn't occur immediately but a week later and after over 10 years I believe this has been the first death, so let's not over react!

What are the work shy and the feckless going to do now for their 5 mins of fame. Good thing is at least the tooth fairy will get a break.

Good. Awful anyway glamourising disfunctional people.

Has there ever been black or asian people on this show? or is only white people as they would not dare offend the former..

It’s a hideous program.

Alright, lets take off that cancerous fucking Love Island show as well. Two people have died on that thing.

Very sad it had to take someone's death to get rid of this awful show. Let's axe Love Island too please and all other exploitative rubbish.

Charles Walker hasn't got a clue.

It had no place on TV in 2005, though?

Although he is more than happy to vote in favour of bombing people.

BBCPolitics Interesting thinking about Charles Walker’s comments in relation to Tobacco

The UK has its problems but also still its morales, it blew scuzzy Murdoch's Fox News off its airwaves last year too.

Cancel culture continues...

It’s a sick show that baits the most vulnerable in society. It should have been axed years ago.
