Jeremy Kyle to make return to TV screens after three years away

After nearly three years away from our television screens, reality TV presenter Jeremy Kyle is set to make a comeback following the axing of his ITV show in 2019.

The Jeremy Kyle show ran for 14 years until the tragic death of guest Steve Dymond after he had failed a lie detector test on the daytime programme.

Now, it has been announced that Jeremy will be returning to our screens as part of the launch of TalkTV on April 25.

The 56-year-old will be alongside the likes of former GMB host Piers Morgan and Julia Hartley-Brewer, report the Daily Star.

The announcement of Jeremy Kyle's TV return comes just weeks after the controversial Channel 4 documentary Death On Daytime aired - the two-part series featured stories from past guests, their loved ones and the production team on the alleged toxic backstage behaviour.

Viewers of the documentary were left shocked at some of the behind the scenes behaviour that went on with one person describing the atmosphere as being in a 'cult'.

In the Channel 4 documentary, one ex-staff member said that Jeremy had a 'god complex' as they called him nasty and demeaning. On his radio show, the presenter addressed Death On Daytime calling it the 'elephant in the room'.

He said: "Let's just deal with the elephant in the room straight away - couple of texts already talking about a certain programme that was on television last night.

"Yes, I am fully aware. I will say only this, my friends, to you. I have maintained a consistent approach over the last three years.

"I have said that I will not comment on the tragic death of Steve Dymond until the legal process has finished and that is a position I will maintain."

This week, an inquest into his death was meant to be heard in Hampshire. However, it's had to be pushed back on 'compassionate grounds’ after the coroner learnt that Steven Dymond's mother had passed away.
