Jeremy Kyle show axed in NZ

From The Panel, 4:26 pm on 16 May 2019

TVNZ is axing the Jeremy Kyle Show. It comes after a 63 year-old grandfather was found dead from apparent suicide, shortly after his appearance on the UK show, where he failed a lie detector test over alleged infidelity. Owen Jones who's the author of Chavs: The Demonization of the Working Class, said the show "consisted of putting vulnerable people from disadvantaged backgrounds in stocks to have eggs thrown at them". But is it the show's fault that this man is now dead?
