Kerry Katona has slammed Jeremy Kyle and his talk show calling him an 'arrogant little t***'.
The mum-of-five hit out at the presenter after his show was axed last week after the death of a guest.
Steve Dymond was found dead at a house in Grafton St, Portsmouth, on May 9, just days after filming The Jeremy Kyle Show.
Following an investigation by ITV bosses, 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.
"Everyone at ITV's thoughts and sympathies are with the family and friend of Steve Dymond."
Now former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry, 38, has said it was a show that mocked people with no teeth in her New! Magazine column, the Mirror Online reports.
She said: "I'm a good friend of Jeremy Kyle and I've appeared on his show before.
"He's always been lovely to me - although he can be an arrogant little t***.

"But I don't think you can blame him or the programme for the tragic death of one of his guests."
She added: "It feels like the right time to put the show to bed.
"I feel like it's become a vehicle to mock lower class people with no teeth, whose mental health problems aren't always taken seriously."
Kerry, herself, appeared on the show in 2012 to talk about her troubled childhood.
