Jeremy Kyle is set to make a comeback to TV screens almost three years after The Jeremy Kyle Show was scrapped in 2019.
The 56-year-old presenter, who currently presents the Drivetime slot on talkRadio, has been confirmed as part of the launch of TalkTV on April 25.
Piers Morgan’s new global show Uncensored will also debut on the channel on the same day.
A statement for the channel read: “TalkTV’s primetime schedule will also be simulcast on talkRadio. And talkRadio’s roster of daytime talent, including Julia Hartley-Brewer, Mike Graham, Ian Collins and Jeremy Kyle, will be broadcast on talkTV.
“TalkRadio has seen fast growth in recent years across all platforms and has been broadcasting successfully on talkRadio TV since last year.”
The Jeremy Kyle Show show ran for seventeen seasons on ITV.
But the daytime TV show was cancelled after the death of guest Steve Dymond who died a week after “failing” a lie detector test on The Jeremy Kyle Show.
It comes just weeks after Channel 4 documentary Death On Daytime explored the scandals behind what was once daytime TV’s biggest show.
In the wake of the documentary, Kyle said there are two sides to every story.
Speaking on his talkRadio show after Death On Daytime aired, he told listeners: “I have said that I will not comment on the tragic death of Steve Dymond until the legal process has finished and that is the position that I will maintain.
“And when, and trust me there will be a time after the inquest, when it is right and proper for me to have my say. Because of course, there are two sides to every single story.”
