Jeremy Kyle Show Cancelled
60 Answers
Just heard on the radio that the JK show has been cancelled as one of the participants died shortly after recording. ITV have announced an investigation and it is feared it may never return. Anyone on here miss it if it vanishes?

It's the television equivalent of going down to Bedlam to poke the lunatics through the bars. It makes a deal of 'helping' people because it infers that it is not the irredeemable mockery of socially inadequate people parading their dysfunctiona

He took an overdose because he was branded a liar after failing a lie detector test about fidelity. The LDTs are flakey at best and given the stress of the situation etc I'd say it can be taken with a pinch of salt. We don't really know if he was indeed lying but he obviously found it disturbing that he was thus branded, probably means he was actually telling the truth.
Horrible show, bear bating with people who are usually off the pace.

Seems many people who never saw the show still managed to form strong opinions. It served a purpose in clarifying relationships where parents had significantly failed their children, and I know a number who have used it for DNA testing.
The rot set in a couple of years ago when it became personal. JK was obsessed with fathers' rights, irrespective of children's interests, and became a self-identified moral guardian "I will make sure no woman / man ever looks at you again".
To maintain its edge, thecshow had to keep pushing boundaries. Research seems to have fallen by the wayside, with great parents one day being challenged for abandoning previous children the next, and always with JK's insistence that he could read people like a book being in direct contrast to the anarchy of the edited versions.
What has happened sounds tragic. I am sure neither JK nor the show's production team wished for anyone to die, but the artificially inflated confrontations meant that it was perhaps always a possibility. A shame that people resort to this kind of public laundry because low-key, local support services are simply no longer available.

A mans suicide rests on his own shoulders, not a national TV show. If he cheated or not, who knows.. However it was his own decision to take his own life. That burden should never fall on anyone else, or anything else but the own mans decisions. We could all commit suicide, we could all blame something else for our problems but deep down we make our own choices and we make our own actions.
I'm stunned that I actually fully agree with spath at 12.23. Furthermore it's OK to brand the show as horrible trash and bedlam baiting but countless people choose to go on it and lots more want to be in the audience. It's not fair to blame the show for this man's suicide nor JK himself for anything else related.
"Anyone who finds themselves wanting to take their own life for psychological reasons is necessarily suffering from an illness that affects their ability to make such choices."
Maybe the aftercare team could have taken more steps to be aware of the suicidal tendencies from the guest, or any hidden issues. but, the aftercare team, nor the show should be blamed. It's no ones fault. It's just a shame.

I am in complete agreement, suicide is the responsibility of the induvial.
That is not the same as saying that the individual is acting in a responsible manner, but I do believe that this situation may have been the last straw, rather than the sole cause of this tragedy.
