Why has ITV also suspended The Jeremy Kyle Show?
ITV is fully cooperating with police to commence an investigation while also reviewing footage of the episode to “conduct a review of the show”.
A representative noted: “Given the seriousness of this event, ITV has also decided to suspend both filming and broadcasting of The Jeremy Kyle Show with immediate effect”.
A source familiar with the situation told The Sun that the entire team at The Jeremy Kyle Show is cooperating and fully supportive of ITV’s decision to perform a full investigation by placing the show on hiatus for the time being.
A source shared: “It’s everyone’s worst nightmare, and something that is taken extremely seriously by all involved. Jeremy and the team are extremely proud of the show and the aftercare which guests receive, and in 14 years on air there has never been an incident like this”.
Former EastEnders star Daniella Westbrook had made it known to fans that her appearance on the chat show was expected to air tomorrow (May 14, 2019) but due to unforeseen circumstances, it’s unclear when the episode will air now.
The Jeremy Kyle Show is one of the longest-running chat shows on ITV, first premiering on the network back in 2005.
