itv have announced that the Jeremy Kyle show will cease production permanently after the recent death of a participant, following on from the suicide of a Love Island contestant early this year have we seen the end of public participation in tv shows.
In recent years UK tv channels have chosen to use "celebrities" more and more rather than members of the public in shows, unlike in the 70s and 80s when the public were the stars of game shows and talent shows so are we going to see more celebrities as insurance for ordinary Joes will surely increase with the risks?
Or will we see some kind of spin off shows that gets tv makers around this current issue of mental health?
Who remembers about 20 years ago a contestant dying on Noel Edmonds show I remember the big fuss then surely in the sensitive world we live in now there can be no way back for the Kyle type of show.
