ITV boss says broadcaster will not do a show like Jeremy Kyle again

Dame Carolyn McCall said: "I think if you look at the show today you wonder how it could have been on for so long.”

ITV’s chief executive Dame Carolyn McCall has been taken to task over The Jeremy Kyle Show as she faced British politicians during an inquiry into the future of public service broadcasting in the UK.

Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) Committee chairman Julian Knight voiced his disapproval at the ITV series, which was axed last year after an outcry following the death of guest Steve Dymond.
