Jeremy Kyle 'can't wait' to return with brand new show as he confirms TV comeback

Jeremy Kyle will be regularly back on our screens again soon with a new TV show.

The presenter, 57, has covered for Piers Morgan on Talk TV over recent weeks, as the former Good Morning Britain star took a break from hosting his self-titled show, but it appears Jeremy has done enough to impresses bosses of the newly-launched channel - landing himself a brand new show of his own.

As of 10 October, the former ITV presenter will be heading up his own live show, Jeremy Kyle Live, and has already teased what viewers can expect from his latest TV venture - promising to make 'sense of the stories that matter' and offer 'practical help' as the nation's navigates its way through tough times.

Jeremy's new TV job comes three years on from The Jeremy Kyle Show 's cancellation by ITV in 2019, following a string of controversies attached to the former ratings winner and the death of participant Steve Dymond, 63, one week after an episode featuring him was filmed.

Following a hiatus from TV and radio, Jeremy returned to the spotlight earlier this year on Rupert Murdoch's latest venture, Talk TV.

"The radio show has done really well but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to host my own TV show, too," Jeremy explained ahead of his latest TV show airing on the new channel.

"That was the plan and it’s been something I’ve missed, but it had to be the right show at the right time with the right team.

"And now it feels like I’ve found it. It feels a bit like I’ve found my broadcasting home."

Speaking to The Sun about Jeremy Kyle Live earlier this week, the TV presenter said he couldn't wait to 'get going' ahead of his return to TV fulltime.

"I'm so excited to be going back to live television from 10 October," he declared to the publication.

"Sitting in for Piers over the summer has given me a taste for what the new show will be.

"Jeremy Kyle Live will be making sense of the stories that matter; speaking the language of the British people and providing practical help as we all try and navigate our way through current times.

"I can't wait to be a part of TalkTV's amazing new primetime lineup."

Jeremy presented The Jeremy Kyle Show for 14 years prior to its axe in 2019 - gaining many critics and fans alike throughout his lengthy stint heading up the controversial show.

In 2017, the now-defunct show was labelled a "human form of bear baiting" by a judge after a participant on the programme David Staniforth, 45, was convicted of assault for headbutting bus driver Larry Mahoney, 39, during a row on stage.

The Jeremy Kyle Show was cancelled in 2009 following the suicide of participant Steve Dymond, 63, just one week after an episode featuring him was filmed for the ITV show.

Speaking in a statement earlier this year, Jeremy told The Sun : "I would like to reiterate my deepest sympathies to the friends and family of Mr Dymond.

"I've consistently maintained it would be inappropriate to discuss the tragic death of Steve Dymond before the legal inquest into it has concluded.

"Likewise, the false and damaging allegations made against me by Channel 4 are with the lawyers now.

"No doubt ITV will address the issues raised by Channel 4 around ITV's production of The Jeremy Kyle Show themselves, it would be wrong for me to speak on their behalf.

"Now is not the time to debate or discuss what is an ongoing legal process. When I can respond, I will."
