Jeremy Kyle is set to make a return to our TV screens after what has been nearly three controversial years since he was last on air.
The Jeremy Kyle Show was first broadcast on ITV back in 2005, and ran for 17 seasons producing over 3,000 episodes, before it was scrapped in 2019 after the shocking death of guest Steve Dymond – who passed away a week after “failing” a lie detector test on the popular daytime talkshow.
Now, the 56-year-old presenter – who currently presents the Drivetime slot on talkRadio – has been confirmed as part of the launch of TalkTV on 25 April.
Piers Morgan’s new global show, Uncensored, will also debut on the channel on the same day.
Confirming Kyle’s return to screens, a spokesperson for the new TV channel said in a statement: “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.

If the reasoning behind his exit from TV wasn’t controversial enough at the time, the news of Kyle’s on screen comeback comes just weeks after a Channel 4 documentary, named Death On Daytime, explored the scandals behind what was once daytime TV’s biggest show, and what it was like for employees working there.

Kyle addressed the documentary on his talkRadio show after it aired, telling his 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.”

Aldi is looking for curious kids to become its first-ever ‘toy tester’

Curious kids, this one’s for you… Aldi is currently looking for little ones to become its first-ever wooden toy tester.
With the sun showing its face more regularly now, and the temperatures heating up by the day, summer is very much on its way, and it won’t be long before the mini Mancs are getting to spend more time playing outdoors than in – which is why Aldi is now on the lookout for one lucky child to become its official Wooden Toy Tester.
The supermarket retailer is calling on children across the country – including here in Greater Manchester – to apply by explaining why they should be chosen and what make-believe dish they would cook up in their very own toy kitchen.
The successful winner will receive a selection of Aldi’s latest wooden toys for free to make sure they have everything they need to feel like they’re the head chef of their own garden.

All Aldi is asking in return is a short review of each of the toys, rating them on performance and fun factor to help guide the supermarket’s Buying Team on future product development.
In previous years, Aldi’s wooden toy launches have been so popular that the retailer has had to put a ‘two per shopper’ limit on purchases, so as you can imagine, this makes this adorable new job role even more in-demand.
“The nation’s love for our wooden toy range is undeniable, and our littlest shoppers are our most important critics,” commented Julie Ashfield, who is the Chief Commercial Officer at Aldi UK.
“We’re excited to appoint our first ever Wooden Toy Tester, to capture their experience and find out what makes the perfect playtime set-up, guaranteeing lots of giggles and fun.”
Fancy it then? For a chance to win the role of a lifetime, little hopefuls simply need to send a one-minute-long video to [email protected] with their name, age, location, what makes them the perfect fit for the role, and what dish they wood make in their wooden kitchen.
Applications close on 5 May, and Aldi’s Summer Wooden Toy range will be available in stores from 17 May.
