'Audiences have long known exactly what it’s doing: parading mainly working-class guests with a history of mental health problems, addictions and family breakdown for amusement and condemnation' | mccartney_jenny

The Jeremy Kyle show – where addiction, infidelity and unhappiness collide with the cameras – now faces an uncertain future. After a guest on the programme recently took his own life, ITV suspended filming and, tellingly, wiped all existing episodes from its online player.

mccartney_jenny Well if this is case all reality shows must go I don’t watch them any ways!

mccartney_jenny Could anyone tell me why Love Island which has had apparently 2 suicides shouldn’t be taken off air like Jeremy Kyle? Is it because young, good looking people make better viewing and therefore are worth more to the TV ratings?

mccartney_jenny A suicide was always going to happen. Sadly. 💔

mccartney_jenny I think I watched it once.... Total garbage....

mccartney_jenny It's all about numbers

mccartney_jenny I caught about 10 minutes of this show once, absolutely shameful they way it, and Kyle, encouraged people to degrade themselves in the manner in which many of them did.

mccartney_jenny Well? That is why it is popular. Is it any different to any other reality TV? What is really annoying the middle class professionals is that it dealt with the type of disputes that don't get resolved any other way. Any support it provides is better than the alternative of none.

mccartney_jenny

mccartney_jenny It was always going to be a matter of time before this happened.

mccartney_jenny I think you'd have to have mental health problems to watch the shite
