Jeremy Kyle Show dropped from TV Choice Awards after being nominated for Best Daytime Show
It's not just the airwaves that Jeremy Kyle has been booted from this week
THE JEREMY Kyle Show has been dropped from the TV Choice Awards after it was axed from the airwaves earlier this week.
The ITV programme was nominated in the Best Daytime Show category but it has now been removed from the longlist.
It is thought that it is no longer eligible for entry after it was cancelled following the suspected suicide of guest Steve Dymond just days after he appeared on the show.
Jeremy Kyle had been nominated alongside the likes of This Morning, Good Morning Britain, and Loose Women, with the shortlist set to be announced next month.
The ceremony will be taking place in London in September.
A rep for The TV Choice Awards told The Sun Online: "The Jeremy Kyle Show has been excluded from the 2019 TV Choice Awards long list nominations under the Best Daytime Show category following the news that the show has been permanently cancelled."
Fans of The Jeremy Kyle show were left devastated earlier this week when the show was axed after the post-show support available to guests was called into question.
Dymond, 63, appeared on the show to try to prove to fiancée Jane Callaghan, 48, that he had not cheated on her but failed a lie detector test.
The couple split shortly afterwards and ten days later the dad-of-one was found dead in his Portsmouth bedsit.
Jeremy said of Dymond's tragic death and the show's subsequent cancellation: "Myself and the production team I have worked with for the last 14 years are all utterly devastated by the recent events.
