Jeremy Kyle’s ex-wife’s scathing comment after they split and proposal to kids’ nanny

It might sound like a complicated love rat drama that would appear on the now axed notorious Jeremy Kyle show.

But it's not an episode from the ITV show, rather it's the ex-presenters own love life.

Jeremy Kyle hit the headlines recently after a shock Channel 4 documentary looking back at the salacious daytime circus.

He married his third wife Vicky Burton last October after they rescheduled THE wedding six times thanks to Covid.

Vicky previously worked as a nanny looking after his three youngest children during his second marriage to Carla Germaine.

She stopped working for the family in April 2016, and it was after that the couple grew closer.

In 2020, Jeremy and Vicky welcomed their first child together.

Jeremy and Carla married in 2002 before splitting in 2015 - with Carla citing his "unreasonable behaviour" as the reason behind the breakdown of their marriage.

They met in 1999 after Carla won a local radio competition to marry a stranger. Unsurprisingly that marriage failed, but she found love with the Birmingham-based radio DJ instead — Jeremy.

But his first marriage ended even more explosively, with ex-wife Kirsty Rowley slamming her partner following their breakup.

They met at a recruitment company in 1998, before Jeremy proposed two months later.

His first marriage had ended even more explosively, torn apart by his lies and deceit in a futile attempt to hide the extent of his gambling habit.

They then got married in July 1989 at her family home in Almondsbury, near Bristol, but the relationship broke down within a year,

But in an interview with the Sunday Mirror in 2007, Kirsty revealed that cracks soon appeared.

In a scathing blow after their split, she said: "The man I married wouldn't have been out of place as a guest on his own TV show.

"The programme is crass, it's embarrassing - and for Jeremy to go on there acting like some kind of agony uncle is sheer hypocrisy. He was a liar."

She added: "I just wish I had been able to give him one of his own lie-detector tests."

In the Channel 4 documentary, four ex-employees spoke to the filmmakers about their time on the show.
