Nearly six years on since the curtain finally came down on controversial ITV talk show The Jeremy Kyle Show, the series’ host appears on Kate Garraway’s Life Stories this evening (Tuesday April 1).
Jeremy, 59, told interviewer Kate during the TV chat there can’t be any way back for the daytime series, which was described by a judge in 2007 as “human bear-baiting” as he passed sentence on a guest who headbutted another in front of the cameras.
Talk presenter Jeremy reflected: “It was a juggernaut. You’d look now and think that was a bygone era. We launched in 2005, just before the advent of social media.”
He added: “I think that changed everything. People would watch it because it would help them, they’d feel better about their own lives. Many people were invested in it. The world has changed dramatically.
“You can’t say boo to a goose now, can you? But I’m immensely proud of those numbers of episodes, taking it to America, and the people that we genuinely helped.”
