Jeremy Kyle is set to make his television come back just weeks after the the explosive Channel 4 documentary Death on Daytime.
The 56-year-old controversial host is set to come back on TV screens almost three years after ITV axed The Jeremy Kyle Show in 2019.
The news has come out just weeks after Channel 4's brutal documentary aired, which saw former staff members of The Jeremy Kyle Show anonymously allege toxic backstage behaviour.
NewsUK has now confirmed Jeremy will make a return to TV as part of the launch of new channel TalkTV, reports The Mirror.
Jeremy Kyle will be joining big names in broadcasting, such as Piers Morgan and Tom Newton Dunn.
A statement detailed the roster of fellow TalkRadio presenters involved was announced.
The statement read: “TalkTV’s primetime schedule will also be simulcast on TalkRadio. And TalkRadio’s roster of daytime talent, including Julia Hartley-Brewer, Mike Graham, Ian Collins and Jeremy Kyle, will be broadcast on TalkTV.
“TalkRadio has seen fast growth in recent years across all platforms, including digital radio and the TalkRadio app, on YouTube and has been broadcasting successfully on TalkRadio TV since last year.”
The announcement comes after the Mirror reported that a pilot for Jeremy's evening show on TalkTV had been dropped amid claims that guests felt “deeply uncomfortable” sharing a platform with him.
Jeremy’s return comes after Channel 4’s Death on Daytime documentary saw former employees of The Jeremy Kyle Show claim that the ITV programme gave its host a “god complex” and that he was “incredibly nasty and demeaning”.
From claims of bear-baiting to lies, some have even claimed that they felt "brainwashed" while working on the show.
The show ran for 14 years until ITV axed it
