MPs say there was ‘complete abdication of duty of care’ as crew filmed ‘distressed’ individual rather than helping them
ITV committed a “corporate failure of responsibility” over its treatment of participants on The Jeremy Kyle Show, according to MPs who were leaked unaired behind-the-scenes footage of the programme, putting extra pressure on the broadcaster’s executives.
They said Kyle used a “bullying methodology” and “abusive language” to provoke participants on his cancelled talk show, with the host’s swearing sometimes edited out before broadcast to give a misleading impression to audiences.
