Jeremy Kyle has revealed that he will host a new nightly show on TalkTV from the summer.
The new station launched on Monday with an initial schedule of three major shows - The News Desk with Tom Newton Dunn, Piers Morgan Uncensored and The Talk, featuring Sharon Osbourne.
During the daytime and overnight hours TalkTV broadcasts a visual version of the talkRADIO schedule, including Kyle's drivetime show from 4pm to 7pm, but now he has announced plans for a bespoke programme for TalkTV.
"The radio show has done really well but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to host my own TV show, too," he told The Sun.
"That was the plan and it's been something I've missed, but it had to be the right show at the right time with the right team. And now it feels like I've found it. It feels a bit like I've found my broadcasting home."
Explaining more about the new show's format, he continued: "You can expect straight talking, big opinions and star bookings, of course.
"If they're making waves in the press, in politics, in showbiz or sport, they will be on. But we won't be all about bigwigs from Westminster or celebs on red carpets. Our show is all about the viewers, who won't just tune in but will be taking part in the show, too.
"One item I'm really excited about is our 'People's Panel', where we hear from viewers and get their honest, unfiltered take on the day's news. They'll be able to take their politician and even their presenter to task on anything they like.
"Sparks may fly but we won't shy away from what people are really talking about and how they're talking about it. The people that are the backbone of this country will be the most important people on my new TV show.
"We'll reflect the real concerns of real people up and down the country and we'll be getting everyone the proper answers we deserve from the people in power."
A slot for Kyle's new show has yet to be announced but the most likely candidate is the 10pm hour, which is currently a talkRADIO simulcast. body check tags ::
