The Jeremy Kyle Show has been pulled just minutes before it was due to air following the death of a guest.

ITV today revealed that Monday's episode will not be screened as scheduled, and a repeat episode of Dickinson's Real Deal was aired instead.

The team have also confirmed that both production and screening of the show will be suspended indefinitely while an investigation into the episode takes place.

An ITV spokeswoman said: "Everyone at ITV and The Jeremy Kyle Show is shocked and saddened at the news of the death of a participant in the show a week after the recording of the episode they featured in and our thoughts are with their family and friends.

"ITV will not screen the episode in which they featured.

"Given the seriousness of this event, ITV has also decided to suspend both filming and broadcasting of The Jeremy Kyle Show with immediate effect in order to give it time to conduct a review of this episode of the show."

Online TV guides had Kyle's talk show scheduled in its normal morning slot straight after Lorraine.

But when viewers tuned in they found antique show Dickinson's Real Deal, a programme usually reserved for mid-afternoon.

Hundreds of confused fans expressed their anger on Twitter.
