The news that a guest on the Jeremy Kyle Show committed suicide following an appearance has resulted in calls for ITV to axe the popular reality TV show. Given the nature of the programme this is hardly the first time that it has courted controversy. It has continually been accused of exploiting its guests who are predominantly from the working classes. In 2007 a judge described the show as a form of "human bear-baiting".
