The Jeremy Kyle Show is the sort of programme which has viewers swearing at their TV - or maybe that's just us? But now it's been revealed that the programme accidentally broadcast an uncensored swearword earlier this year.
Several viewers complained to TV watchdog Ofcom after a Scottish guest on the show said to Kyle during a heated exchange "you'd get your **** kicked in". Charming.
The programme's producers have said that they failed to spot the obscenity due to the strength of the man's accent and only realised their mistake when a Scottish viewer got in touch with the show.
Ofcom found that ITV had broken broadcasting rules by airing the swearword and said: "We accept that the inclusion of the term was unintentional, and that the comment may not have been readily understood by some non-Scottish viewers, but ITV should ensure that inappropriate and offensive language is not broadcast before the watershed."
Did you see the offending programme? Would you have been outraged if you had seen it or do you accept it was a mistake?

If people dont like his show DONT WATCH IT you have the choice there is many programmes i dont like so i dont watch them makes sense, but jeremy Kyle is just the best and when he tells people what he thinks about them sponging of the tax payer he is 100% right, so stop moaning and watch your own boring programmes!!

Posted by: lynneil on Tue Jul 15 08:40PM | Report abuseI think most people who watch Jeremy Kyle know that the majority of guests get into heated exchanges and are verbally abusive. It's obvious that the odd swear word was going to be broadcast at some point as with some people, every other word is an obscenity. These words are used freely every day and even though it's bleeped out, it's obvious what's being said. If viewers are offended by the word that was uncensored then maybe they should refrain from watching it. Also, to give Jeremy his due, he does reprimand guests for bad language and violence.

I dont see the problem personally. 1 mistake n there is an uprore, we're human beings not robots mistakes happen.
Posted by: sarahbh200 on Tue Jul 15 09:18PM | Report abuseThese types of shows have always exploited the, lets say less than normal people, who lets face it don't mind being exploited as long as they get their fifteen minutes of fame, and maybe a little fee, a free night in a hotel, probably free meals and washed down with a few pints of cider for the guys and vodka for the girls. I like to think that normal people (and i include myself in that category) would not be seen dead on these shows. Normal people don't hang their dirty washing out for someone elses entertainment. Now if they showed a few fights like they do on springer, then i may take a peep at it.
