OPINION - I grew up in Rotherham alongside the people Jeremy Kyle exploited

I watched Channel 4’s documentary Jeremy Kyle Show: Death on Daytime out of morbid curiosity.

But surely it just spells out what we’ve all known for years: that it was an odious show which humiliated its guests and called it “tough justice”.
