ITV’s CEO confirmed the news in a statement on Wednesday morning, following widespread calls to bring the programme off the air permanently rather than temporarily.
Carolyn McCall said: “Given the gravity of recent events we have decided to end production of The Jeremy Kyle Show.”

Oh no, they’ve taken away the poor people’s only moral compass.
Honestly, it’s surprising this hasn’t happened before now.
Ding dong the creep is gone!
But how will Charger pass the long afternoons now…
Even lonelier.
And all those sporting people in track suits I see when I go to the shopping centre. What will fill the void for them?
good riddance
Such caring, such corporate responsibility
Jeremy Kyle ratings, 1m
Love Island ratings, 4m
Jeremy Kyle suicides, 1 (a complete uggo)
Love Island suicides, 2 (and they were both pretty)
Which one was cancelled?
ITV, you’re the best!
I hope RTE follow suit with Joe Duffy,Marian,Ray & Turdbridy.
ITV needs to remove clips from Youtube too. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2019/may/14/jeremy-kyle-show-ruined-life-guest-speaks-out
ANd there was me thinking this day couldnt get any better! Good riddance, the show was an abomination.
They’ll continue with the format, but just under another name. TV bosses know this stuff has an eager target audience – they’re not going to drop it and run. Look at Noel Edmonds after that guy was killed on his show – the show was axed but the content carried on under a different guise.
Can TV go any lower than this?

Jeremy Kyle’s Emergency Room, which marries the cringe-factor of Channel 4’s Embarrassing Bodies to the set of Casualty.
“The Swan”.
Every week two people competed for an “extreme makeover” including plastic surgery.

So the standard is that “anything goes” until it results in a death? This kind of trash should never be on TV or anywhere else.
