Jeremy Kyle show producer Natasha Reddican was discovered by her boyfriend at his home in Greater Manchester on Thursday.
The TV worker, 31, had worked on the reality TV show for eight years, her role included booking guests and helping with the running of the ITV series.
She was made redundant along with others on the show in the wake of the row over the suicide of Steve Dymond - who died following a drug overdose after failing a lie detector test on the show in 2019, as reported in sister title the Daily Mirror.
TV sources insisted to the publication she had played no part in booking Mr Dymond but had since left the programme.
After Natasha's boyfriend found her police were called and attempts were made to save her but she died at the scene, according to The Sun.
She had worked on the Kyle show booking guests and helping with the running of the show for eight years.
In a statement this evening, ITV said: “Our thoughts are with her family and all those who knew her. She was a producer on The Jeremy Kyle Show and left ITV eight months ago, in June 2019.
“As with all other former employees on the show she was offered support and counselling by ITV during the redundancy process and help in securing new employment.
“ITV arranged for a counsellor to be on site throughout the process to offer emotional support.
“Everyone also had access to the Employer Assistance Programme, which offers 24/7 counselling and emotional support.
“ITV also put in place training sessions designed to support people in securing their next roles.
“ITV also supports The Film and TV Charity, which has been set up to support those working within the industry, particularly freelancers, and helps fund its free, 24/7 support line offering confidential advice.”
A pal paid tribute to Natasha today, saying: "I never thought I would ever have to write something like this.
"We were best friends, distant friends, didn't b***** talk to each other for a while friends, but never did I see the day I would ever have to write a
goodbye to you so early in your life.
"From day one on Jezza K we clicked, my wifey - Valentine's Day cards to each other every year, our Prezzo lunches on a Monday and the pure
banter we would have was brilliant."I remember we drank all the booze in your house one time and then made the decision to walk to the garage
at an ungodly hour to get more, singing Bon Jovi's 'Living on a Prayer' at the top of our voices on the way there and back.
"We made each other laugh, we made each other cry, we absolutely p***** each other off. And even when we didn't talk I was so glad to see you were happy."
Jeremy Kyle, the show host, is still yet to address the death of guest Steve, who took his own life days after filming for The Jeremy Kyle Show.
During his stint, Steve failed a lie detector test and was said to be crushed by the results.
He was found dead in his home by his landlady, resulting in the immediate axing of the ITV daytime show.
