Jeremy Kyle-style show about family feuds in works after ITV hit was cancelled over guest tragedy
IT’S been six years since The Jeremy Kyle Show was axed following the tragic death of a guest.
Steve Dymond took his own life after failing a lie detector test on the ITV1 daytime show after being accused of cheating on his partner.
But in September last year an inquest found no “clear and reliable causal connection” between the suicide and Dymond’s appearance on the series in 2019.
And now I can reveal a new show probing those same conflicts between partners, neighbours and loved ones is in the works.
Programme makers are looking for feuding couples, families and colleagues who want to come to a resolution — with experts helping the contributors unpack their problems on air.
Production firm Ty’r Ddraig asks hopefuls: “Had a fallout with a family member? Or a disagreement with someone you work with? Maybe you are at loggerheads with your neighbour?
“If this is you or anyone you know, and you want a resolution, a new development for a major UK broadcaster would love to hear from you.
“Ty’r Ddraig is looking to talk to those who would love expert help to resolve a disagreement. It could be anything from a grandparent being taken for granted as chief babysitter to a neighbourly dispute over a parking bay and everything in between.”
Dymond faced boos from the audience after failing a lie detector test on The Jeremy Kyle Show to determine whether he had cheated on his then-partner, Jane Callaghan.
A senior producer on the show admitted the tests had an accuracy rate of between 60 and 96 per cent.
But a coroner found “insufficient evidence” that the event led to him taking his life seven days later.
A telly source said: “I’m sure lessons have been learnt but it’s interesting to see that, five years on, a major broadcaster is looking to once again examine these areas of conflict.”
Can’t we leave all that to the showbiz scrappers on Celebrity Big Brother?
Strictly duo do the cha-ha-ha
THEY might look serious in the middle of a performance, but Karen Hauer and Gorka Marquez have admitted they often struggle to keep a straight face when dancing together.
The duo are currently travelling around the UK on their Speakeasy tour which features dances the duo are often seen performing on Strictly Come Dancing, including the samba, salsa and foxtrot.
Karen told me: “We’ve had many moments on stage where we’ve got the giggles. If we make mistakes, we both have to roll with it and only have a second to get back into the routine.
“I’m so happy to travel around the country with one of my closest friends, and dance.
“But Gorka is driving us from venue to venue, and he always misses the exits!”

Celebrity Big Brother books US star and show legend to take part in new series
CELEBRITY Big Brother’s line-up is still under construction, but as far as I’m concerned they have already made the booking of the series – for the spin-off show.
I can reveal that show legend Tiffany Pollard will be a Late & Live panellist.
The American reality star is loved by Big Bro fans after being at the heart of one of the show’s most famous moments ever – “David’s Dead” in 2016.
It came about after her housemate Angie Bowie was informed by show bosses that her ex-husband David Bowie had died.
When Angie passed on the news, telling her “David is dead”, Tiffany thought she meant fellow contestant David Gest.
A source said: “There are no fans as passionate as those that love Big Brother and this booking’s one for them.
“Tiffany is a solid gold show legend and going to be brilliant on the Late & Live panel.”
Will Best and AJ Odudu return as hosts of the ITV2 spin-off and main show, which kicks off on April 7 at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
Celebrities lined up so far include Corrie’s Jack P Shepherd and Love Islander Chris Hughes.
Teacher attacked & killed by COWS who tossed him into the air and trampled him to death on country walk with pal
A TEACHER has been attacked and killed by cows after they tossed him into the air and trampled him to death on a country walk with a pal.
Retired Malcolm Flynn, 72, had been strolling along Hadrian’s Wall when the horror events unfolded, an inquest heard.
Cattle with their calves charged at the granddad, from Carlisle, and one of them kicked him in the head while he lay seriously injured, his fellow rambler Christopher Barkless told a hearing in Morpeth, Northumberland.
Mr Barkless had to climb a tree to escape and he called the emergency services but his longstanding friend could not be saved and died from chest injuries, the inquest heard.
It happened in a field at Thirlwall Castle Farm near Gilsland, close to the Cumbria and Northumberland border, on September 11 2020.
Assistant Coroner Kirsten Mercer told inquest jurors how there was a sign warning walkers about the cows and calves in the field and how they could be “unpredictable”.
Mr Flynn, a father-of-two, was a member of the Ramblers’ Association and regularly walked with his friend Mr Barkless, and they were completing the Hadrian’s Wall route in sections.
The former chemistry teacher, who had been a manager with Northumbrian Water until he changed career in his 50s, had developed glaucoma which affected his eyesight and was troubled by arthritic pain in his foot.
Mr Barkless said they had set off from Gilsland that morning and after entering a field, he noticed four cows and their calves blocking the path, so he changed course.
He told the inquest: “I was not comfortable with that situation, they were not behaving in a manner that I would expect.”
He clarified, saying: “If you look in a cow’s eyes it will normally look away, it won’t stare you out.
“If it looks away, it will normally disperse. These cows were different.
“They didn’t demonstrate any intention of being fazed by the presence of two human beings, in fact they came forward to confront us.”
Mr Barkless said he told his friend he was changing course and turned his back only to hear a “tumultuous motion” as the cattle moved quickly towards Mr Flynn and he started to run away.
The witness said a cow shoulder charged the pensioner, knocking him to the ground, then flipped him up in the air.
He lay injured on the ground and every time he moved after that, a cow would trample him, Mr Barkless said.
He rang 999 from a hawthorn tree and worried if he tried to help his stricken friend, the cows would change over Mr Flynn again.
When Mr Flynn made a final attempt to get up, a cow kicked him in the face, Mr Barkless said.
It was only when the air ambulance flew over, some 30 minutes after the first attack, that the cows dispersed in fright, Mr Barkless said, allowing him and other walkers in the area to try to help.
The medics on the air ambulance could not save him and he died at the scene.
Mr Flynn’s elder daughter Julia Proud wrote a pen portrait which said her father loved walking and the countryside.
She said: “The tragedy that happened is a bitter pill to swallow as it is something he had done so many times before and enjoyed.”
The coroner were told that one of the issue that they will consider during the five-day inquest was a previous incident involving cows at the farm almost exactly a year before, where two walkers were injured.
The inquest continues
Adolescence actress Erin Doherty ‘splits from girlfriend Sophie Melville after seven years together’
ADOLESCENCE star Erin Doherty has split from girlfriend Sophie Melville, according to reports.
The actress, 32, had been with Sophie for seven years after meeting on the set of Alan Ayckburn’s play, The Divide.
They didn’t share their romance on social media publicly for two years and now Erin no longer follows Sophie, who has appeared in the BBC’s Call The Midwife, on Instagram.
Sources have told the Mail that they have broken up.
Erin, 32, found love with Sophie, 34, after being left “unsatisfied” with past relationships with men.
A self-described “people pleaser”, Sophie said on the How To Fail podcast last week: “It took me a really, really long time to finally get to the point where I was like ‘Oh, I’m gay’.”
And in 2022 Erin revealed how Sophie had influenced her to take care of herself in a way she hadn’t previously, swapping chocolates for kale salad.
Erin is best known for her work as Princess Anne in The Crown, and most recently played a major part in an episode of hit Netflix drama Adolescence as Briony Ariston.
The four-part series explores the story of the fictional Miller family, whose lives are turned upside down when their 13-year-old-son Jamie is arrested on suspicion of murder having been radicalised online.
It reached 24.3million views in its first four days and been hailed the most important show of the year.
Now it has been said Netflix is keen to explore options to extend the format to further series.
A TV source said: “Execs are thrilled by the results and acclaim for Adolescence.
“It’s seen as a format that can run and run, at least to a second series if not further, as it could take in a different teen issue each series.
“The topic has resonated with viewers because it taps into parents biggest fear and there’s plenty of scope for more in the same vein.
“Stylistically, the one-take creative approach could become the hallmark of the series. It’s one of the aspects which has got everyone talking.”
Actor Stephen Graham, who plays dad Eddie, was inspired to co-write the intense drama after reading about the horrific murders of Brianna Ghey and other young people.
But he added online influence can extend beyond such tragedies.
Speaking on Virgin Radio, he explained: “When we were kids, when we were in our room, there wasn’t much we could do, really.
“Draw a picture, read a book, maybe play some video.
“But today, when they’re in their room, with social media, with the internet, you don’t know. They’re going into loads of different worlds via the internet.
“Every parent’s going to watch this show and when they finish, they’re going to burst into their kid’s room and be asking them, what’s going on? And give them a hug.”
