(CNN) A British TV company has canceled a daytime talk show known for its tabloid style and rowdy confrontations after a guest died shortly after taping an episode.

Broadcaster ITV said it has permanently canceled production of "The Jeremy Kyle Show," which had been running for 14 years.

Widely seen as the UK's answer to "The Jerry Springer Show," the Kyle show often featured feuding couples or friends accused of betrayal, with participants sometimes agreeing to lie detector tests in order to settle disputes. Results would be revealed in front of a baying studio audience, with occasionally violent consequences.

British lawmakers announced Wednesday they will open an inquiry into reality TV after the death, as well as those of two former contestants on the "Love Island" show.

UK Parliament's Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee will look into whether shows give participants enough support during and after filming, and whether more regulation is needed.
