Jeremy Kyle: Death On Daytime on Channel 4 reveals the shocking events that led to the demise of a hit TV series. 

For 14 years The Jeremy Kyle Show dominated daytime television as its opinionated host Jeremy Kyle delved into the personal dilemmas and relationship troubles of members of the public to see if they could be resolved on-screen by getting estranged family members and pals to settle their differences in the studio. Situations could often get fraught. 

Then in 2019 the show was canceled after one guest Steve Dymond took his own life following his appearance on the programme.

What Jeremy Kyle: Death On Daytime will cover

Jeremy Kyle: Death On Daytime will show how ITV's hit series The Jeremy Kyle Show dominated daytime TV since it began in 2005. Then in 2019 the show was dramatically canceled after guest Steve Dymond took his own life following an appearance on the program.

I'm a huge fan of television so I really have found the perfect job, as I've been writing about TV shows, films and interviewing major television, film and sports stars for over 25 years. I'm currently TV Content Director on What's On TV, TV Times, TV and Satellite Week magazines plus Whattowatch.com. I previously worked on Woman and Woman's Own in the 1990s. Outside of work I swim every morning, support Charlton Athletic football club and get nostalgic about TV shows Cagney & Lacey, I Claudius, Dallas and Tenko. I'm totally on top of everything good coming up too.
