Following ITV's decision to permanently axe The Jeremy Kyle Show yesterday after the death of a participant from a suspected suicide, Vanessa's fiancé Ben Ofoedu suggested she fill the slot in the TV schedule.

Posting a picture of his fiancée on her short lived BBC show which aired in 1999 on Instagram,  Ben wrote: "The Vanessa Show. Mmmm....I wonder #tbt."

Vanessa's fans were quick to support the idea, with one writing: "Shes one of the best in my eyes."

Another added: "Yes yes yes and yes. That's exactly what we need.

"No offence to Jeremy Kyle because it's sad what they have done but Vanessa is what we need.

"A good audience debate show is missing from morning t.v."

A third agreed, writing: "Perfect, let’s hope so!"

Vanessa landed her own self-titled daytime show on ITV in 1994, before leaving to move to the BBC in 1998.

Meanwhile, Jeremy, 53, released a statement yesterday saying he is “utterly devastated” that his TV show has been axed.
