Jeremy Kyle asked to attend parliament's reality TV inquiry

"We believe his perspective on reality TV will be of particular value to our inquiry," says committee chairman Damian Collins.

Jeremy Kyle has been asked to attend the parliamentary inquiry into reality TV.

The digital, culture, media and sport (DCMS) committee inquiry was launched last month, within hours of ITV announcing that it had axed The Jeremy Kyle Show following the death of a participant.

DCMS committee chairman Damian Collins MP said: "We're hoping that Jeremy Kyle will take this opportunity to come and answer questions about measures taken to prepare and support contestants.

"As someone who was at the centre of this long-running show, we believe that his perspective on reality TV will be of particular value to our inquiry."
