This is an accepted version of this page Jeremy Neil Kyle (born 7 July 1965)[1][2] is an English broadcaster and writer.

As a result of Talksport's Premiership coverage on a Sunday, Kyle's show was cancelled, and he left the station.

[12] In 2022 TalkRadio paid a "substantial" libel settlement to Labour MP Barry Gardiner regarding a false claim, broadcast by Jeremy Kyle on the station.

[14] In September 2007, Manchester judge Alan Berg[15] described the show as "trash" which existed to "titillate bored members of the public with nothing better to do".

Kyle has also presented Half Ton Hospital, a show about morbidly obese people in the United States.

[citation needed] On 19 April 2011, Kyle began presenting a documentary series called Military Driving School, where he visited the Defence School of Transport at Leconfield in East Yorkshire, following a group of new recruits as they undergo training as front line military drivers.

[20][21] From March 2016 until August 2018 Kyle relief presented ITV's breakfast programme Good Morning Britain.

[22][23] In May 2019, the recording and broadcasting of The Jeremy Kyle Show was suspended after a guest committed suicide shortly after appearing in an episode of the series.

A review of the episode occurred before any resumption of the programme's transmission,[3] and on 15 May 2019, ITV confirmed that the series had ceased production with immediate effect.

[24] It has since been revealed that more guests had taken their own lives following their appearances in this and another programme hosted by Kyle on Channel 5, Britain's Worst Husband.

[28] In September 2024 the inquest for 63-year-old Steve Dymond, in Winchester, heard that he had been found dead from the combined effect of a morphine overdose and a heart condition, at his home in Portsmouth in May 2019.

Kyle denied humiliating the guest on his former talk show a week earlier, in an attempt to prove he had cheated on his partner.

In the footage, shown at the inquest, Kyle told the guest to "grow a pair" and "I wouldn't trust you with a chocolate button".

[31] Kyle's first marriage to Kirsty Rowley in 1989 was short-lived because of his addiction to gambling,[32] which made him accumulate a debt which peaked at £12,000, and took some years to pay off.
