One of the UK’s largest TV channels has pulled the plug on a talk show after a guest died from suicide shortly after filming.

The death sent shockwaves across the UK and sparked serious criticism of the show’s format, which many said was exploitative of the poor and a breach of psychiatric ethics.

Tabloid talk show canceled after death of guest who failed a lie-detector test over fidelity“The Jeremy Kyle Show” — the U.K.'s answer to Jerry Springer's divisive TV show — was permanently canceled by ITV.
