ITV boss has confirmed The Jeremy Kyle Show has been axed, following the death of a guest.
Steve Dymond was found dead at an address in Grafton St, Portsmouth, on May 9 just days after filming with the show in Manchester.
In a statement released today, CEO Carolyn McCall said it was "the right time for the show to end".
She said: "Given the gravity of the recent events we have decided to end production of The Jeremy Kyle Show.
"The Jeremy Kyle Show has had a loyal audience and has been made by a dedicated production team for 14 years, but now is the right time for the show to end.
ITV Jeremy Kyle Show guest told son TV host 'really laid into me' before he was found dead
"Everyone at ITV's thoughts and sympathies are with the family and friend of Steve Dymond."
Mr Dymond had agreed to go on the programme to clear his name after his fiancée, Jane Callaghan, accused him of cheating, but was told he had failed the lie detector test.
His son, Carl Woolley, 39, ITV Jeremy Kyle Show guest told son TV host 'really laid into me' before he was found dead and he told him the host "really laid into me".
Speaking to The Daily Mail, Mr Woolley said: "I called after he got home from filming the episode.
"He was distraught over the break-up of the relationship. He had gone on the show solely to clear his name (about allegedly cheating on Ms Callaghan) but he said it had gone wrong because of the lie detector test."
Referring to his father by his first name, Mr Woolley said: "Steve told me 'Kyle really laid into me'. Presumably that was at the point when they announced the lie detector result."
ITV have also removed all episodes of Jeremy Kyle from catch-up service ITV hub.
Kyle was filmed near his home in Windsor on Wednesday, although is yet to comment personally.
