He’s been married twice and has four kids.
Early Childhood & Life
Jeremy Kyle was born on July 7, 1965, to Nan and Patrick Kyle in Reading, Berkshire, United Kingdom. His father was the Queen Mother’s personal secretary and an accountant. His older brother Nick, the second son, developed a heroin addiction.
In Sonning, Berkshire, Kyle attended the Reading Blue Coat School, an independent school for boys only. He continued his studies in history and sociology at the “University of Surrey” in Guildford after receiving his diploma.
Career of Jeremy Kyle
He started out working for the chain of supermarkets called “Mark and Spencer.” Later, between 1986 and 1995, he held a variety of positions including salesman for life insurance, recruitment consultant, and radio ad salesman. His career as a radio host (and eventually a TV presenter) began when he was invited to step in as a replacement during his final job as a seller of radio advertising spots.
He started off as a radio host at “Orchard FM” in Taunton, Somerset, and “Leicester Sound” in Leicester. He then moved on to “Invicta FM” in Kent in 1996. He began hosting the Birmingham radio station BRMB’s “Late & Live” and “Jezza’s Jukebox” in 1997. In 2001, the program “Late & Live” brought him a “Sony Award.” He hosted ‘Jezza’s Confessions,’ a program on the ‘Century FM’ network in 2000, which followed a similar format to his prior program.
Kyle served as the host of “Jezza’s Virgin Confessions” on “Virgin Radio” from July 2002 to June 2004. He quit “Virgin Radio” in September 2004 and joined London’s “Capital FM,” where he hosted “Capital Confessions,” where he answered live calls about various marital problems. ‘The Jeremy Kyle Show,’ which had a similar concept and ran through 2006, took its place and was broadcast in its place.
The Jeremy Kyle Show, his new program, debuted on Gcap Media’s “One Network” in 2007. All of his prior radio stations, such as Orchard FM, Invicta FM, and BRMB, were part of this network. He interviewed famous guests on this show, which was distinct from his former ones in concept.
In September 2008, he started hosting “The Jeremy Kyle Sunday Sports Show,” a Sunday lunchtime sports program on “Talksport,” the official global audio partner of the “Premier League.” Kyle left the station after his show was later canceled to make room for another (Premiership).
In 2005, Kyle started hosting “The Jeremy Kyle Show” on “ITV.” Many people, including judges in courts, criticized this show. He also presented a few other programs, including “Half Ton Hospital,” which focused on obese Americans in the US, and “Kyle’s Academy,” in which specialists encouraged people toward a better life by participating and offering advice.
He broadcast the “Military Driving School” series in April 2011; it featured footage of the Defense School of Transportation in Yorkshire as it trained freshly enlisted military drivers. In 2011, his “ITV” game program, “High Stakes,” which required players to decipher clues to dodge traps, aired.
‘The Jeremy Kyle Show’ made its premiere in North America in September 2011. This two-season program was modeled on his British discussion show.
He has been hosting ‘Jeremy Kyle’s Emergency Room,’ a daily reality medical program on ITV, since June 2015. The Kyle Files, another ITV primetime program, was also presented by him. He served as a special guest presenter for ITV’s “Good Morning Britain” during the summer of 2016.
He publishes columns for a variety of magazines, including one called “Jeremy Kyle Says……” where he responds to readers’ issues and one called “Pick Me Up” for a women’s monthly magazine. In his 2009 debut book, “I’m Only Being Honest,” he discusses his opinion of social issues in Britain. ‘You Couldn’t Make it Up,’ another novel by Kyle, was released in June 2010.
