Why do people willingly go on Jeremy Kyle?

All you have to do is look at the 'guests' to understand why they go on the show. You could gather up a years worth of them and still find more intelligence in something you shat out after a night on Guinness.

Well London is the crap hole

And I'm pretty sure JK is filmed in Manchester.

But he's taking advantage of people, its exploitation effectively. I'm surprised more isn't said about what a sleazy low life he is.

I would ask the same of embarrassing bodies. they must get a paycheck, or they just have a narcissistic desire to be on tv.

''my whole family and friends need to know about my genital warts, better get dr pixie to check it out''

Nearly every time I've seen that show it's gone:

"Have you seen your doctor?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Too embarrassed."
"Right. Well I see the problem. Your arsehole is so sore and leaking is because despite being in your 40's you've somehow never learned to wipe your arse properly like everyone else."
"Oh really? Thanks."

YEAH THAT REALLY SAVED YOU THE EMBARRASSMENT OF SEEING YOUR ****ING GP DIDN'T IT?

I can't put up a link but there was an episode where a mother brought her son on to confront him and find out "Has my son destroyed my sex toy?"

DEFTLEFTHAND · 28-11-2015 08:50PM

How's he doing health wise these days? Is he still battling cancer?

No but his wife was cheating on him with an entire football team apparently, they've separated.

mikeym · 28-11-2015 09:40PM

I used to watch the show a lot but I dont have time to watch it because I have a job

TheLastMohican · 29-11-2015 02:53AM

To take part in cultural exchanges.

PandaPoo · 29-11-2015 03:28AM

Well I doubt they need the money, they must make a f*cking fortune off the tooth fairy.

The Sidewards Man · 29-11-2015 03:30AM

To retain the dole it should be compulsory to participate on the show.

If only there was some show he could go on and confront her about it.

It's a television version of them Dublin radio shows on at night, Ray Kennedy ? Or Chris Barry ? Either way there there all cringe worthy, I know a girl who goes asleep listening to Chris Barry at night , aaah hereeeeer

Jeremy Kyle infiltrates the ranks of the disenfranchised and not too bright for its shows. People who would never get heard in every day life due to being under-privileged and under-educated get to feel important for a day. Jeremy Kyle and shows of its ilk exploit this need.

I hate that show.

Interestly, you might not be far wrong with the bolded bit. I recall a good while back, it emerged that a Big Brother contestant had appeared on Embarrassing Bodies before BB. Absolutely desperate to be on TV but with no discernible skill to get herself there.

In fairness a lot of the people on EB have long-term chronic and/or largely baffling ailments that countless doctors failed to diagnose or treat correctly over decades.

If you're offered top notch treatment and free surgery and medication after years of suffering with something that seriously impinges on your quality of life, I'd say 30 seconds flashing your private parts on telly doesn't seem like the worst thing in the world.

Eh... wut? A television doc is no more qualified to solve the problem. Actually, I'd argue that a doctor who ends up doing this kind of tripe probably isn't at the top of their game. So, you're making your health problems public and exposing parts of your body on TV for no benefit.

Apparently your man Christian is very good in his trade but I agree with the thrust of your post. They have the NHS over there so can get nearly everything you'll see on thay programme sorted for free and although I was joking in my last post many of them do actually say that they're too embarrassed to see their GP!

Some people are spurred to talk to them just by the fact that they're there and asking "do you have any medical problems you'd like help with?" but plenty of them have to be just dying to get on the screen come hell or high water. I can't even get in that head space. Ringing your gran like "quick gran, turn on channel 4 I'm about to be on it! Yeah, about the growth on me cock. Make sure you record it to show the neighbours." Wtf like.

Pixie is probably very good too, but if I had a baffling and troublesome health problem, I'd be looking for the best doctors in the country and I doubt the two best doctors in the country have just happened to end up on a television show together.

And absolutely some people do just go on it out of a desperate desire to be on telly, like the Big Brother contestant I mentioned up-thread.

I don't understand the desperate desire to appear on telly either, but I went to school with a girl who is always looking for ways to be on the box and it honestly wouldn't surprise me to see her turn up on EB. She's already been on a silly TV show where she had to reveal very personal stuff about her relationship, including information on her sex life!
