To actually quite like Jeremy Kyle?

So I don't really watch his show but am currently being treated to a repeat on ITV2. The title is 'Jeremy Kyle confronts knife crime' and whilst he is a bit smug and annoying, I actually quite like him. And the programme is really informative.

That's it really...

...let the berating begin

you beat me to it Marla

GreatBallsOfFluff · 21/05/2009 13:56

yup, he's smug, arrogant, a hypocrite, think's he's God, but I can't help but watch his show

used2bthin · 21/05/2009 13:58

I don't watch his show (the novelty wore off quite quickly after starting maternity leave) but I do fancy him quite a lot. Which is wrong I know but I really do!

OH I don't fancy him. I just like the no shit approach. I do agree that he is a glowing example of twattery but I can't help but warm to him. But then I do love Dr Phil too

I really really want to see him on the fornt of a tabloid with a prostitute and a line of coke up his nose . Or maybe a love child that he has abandoned because he just didn't care . Or maybe being caught claiming too much on expenses .

Either of the above really , I am not too fussy

TheCrackFox · 21/05/2009 14:01

He is a cock face, make no mistake.

shootfromthehip · 21/05/2009 14:02

Glad I didn't see the PND show, that may have moved him slightly lower on my 'have round for dinner' list to, erm, just below Jeremy Clarkson. (shouldn't like him either but I can't help it- it must be the name).

God he really is a prize twat. He allegedly has a major gambling habit and there was a thread on here a while ago with a link to an interview his first wife did saying he was actually quite a nasty piece of work and not the lovely family man he makes out.

Fimbo · 21/05/2009 14:05

He is a doing a book signing in my local Borders on Monday. So Shoot if you are in the Norwich area 6.70/7.30 you could see twatface himself.

whoisasking · 21/05/2009 14:06

Jeremy Kyle turns me into a freaking lunatic. I'm usually fairly calm, but the minute I see his face and hear him say "It's MY DAMN NAME ON THE WALL" I start screaming obsenities and throwing furniture around.

I don't watch it anymore as I'm convinced I will one day die of a Jeremy Kyle induced stroke.

So yes YABU.

stainesmassif · 21/05/2009 14:07

Undoubtedly a cock face, no, make that sanctimonious cock face, but oh, how i love it when he lulls his 'guests' into a false sense of security and then SHOUTS RIGHT IN THEIR FACES.

mascaraohara · 21/05/2009 14:07

I can't stand the man BUT I do watch his show when I'm Working from Home

Though as a single parent who got pregnant by accident in a new relationship and who's daughter has no contact with her biological father I have to chuckle at what he must think of me

stainesmassif · 21/05/2009 14:13

i particularly love it when he mentions (in every show) that this is on 'national television'. so's QVC, jezza.

grumblinalong · 21/05/2009 14:18

YABVVVVVVV Unreasonable. He preys on the vulnerable for 'entertainment' and then proceeds to mock and taunt them until they breakdown and admit that they're terrible human beings. I HATE HIM.

And breathe.....

Notalone · 21/05/2009 14:18

Lol - he is doing a booksigning in my local WHSmith soon. Shall I go an egg him?

muggglewump · 21/05/2009 14:20

lol@ QVC comment.

He is a total and utter knobber with a face I'd love to punch repeatedly.

whoisasking · 21/05/2009 14:22

Notalone

Don't waste any eggs on him. I think it would be great if you got right up in his face, eyes bulging, pointed at the WH Smith Sign and screamed "IT'S THEIR DAMN NAME ON THE WALL! GET OUT OF THIS SHOP YOU SCUMBAG"

Man, I would pay cold hard cash to see that.

shootfromthehip · 21/05/2009 14:24

So... I'm on my own then.

Anyone?

The Jeremy Kyle show is my dirty little gym secret. It really gets me through a tough treadmill workout. I feel guilty even watching it, but it is a good "naughty" kind of guilt
