When I ask whether that left any of the production team tempted to obscure possible mental health problems contributors might have had, both Letts and Grant choose their words carefully.
Did people bend the rules? Not generally, no. But there are always going to be instances where that might happen. The sheer number of episodes the production teams were expected to churn out, and the number of guests required to fill those shows, combined with the competition deliberately fostered by management and burnt-out staff, resulted in a perfect storm.
Letts, too, was shocked but not surprised. Both he and Letts knew her. It is such a tight-knit community. And it says something about the culture of the industry that needs to change, that you work yourself almost to death. Jeremy Kyle has never claimed to be a therapist or counsellor. He began his career selling life insurance and radio advertising, and then started broadcasting on local radio in Kyle auditioned, and the rest is history.
Nobody was forced to work on The Jeremy Kyle Show. The staff chose to put up with the pressure, the working hours and the grindingly exploitative content they were producing in order to get a foothold in the supposedly glamorous and exciting world of TV. When asked about their claims and the death of Natasha Reddican, it pointed to its introduction of a duty of care charter and new guidance for producers.
But many were simply made redundant. After so many series, it was a shock. Of course, the true victims of The Jeremy Kyle Show are the unpaid members of the public who provided its content. ITV may have deleted all traces of the programme from its on-demand service, and removed whatever clips it can find on YouTube , but there are thousands of people still living with the legacy of agreeing to expose their personal crises on stage for public entertainment in exchange for a promise of help.
Kyle, meanwhile, is looking to the future. There are three separate Bring Back Jeremy Kyle pages on Facebook , with hundreds of thousands of followers, and more than 52, people have signed an online petition to get his show back on air.

October 31, The studio set up for Jeremy Kyle meant the back stage area gave no opportunity for many to escape the camera glares, which of course was where so much of the real drama took place.
People want to watch just like people slow down on the motorway to look at a crash. But the show for now is over… Taxi. We need to ask ourselves, at what cost [will we pay] for high ratings?
How To. Celebrity News. Grazia Magazine. Its success was no accident. On The Jeremy Kyle Show, meanwhile, the host was "as confrontational as the audience", he says. Kyle would act as mediator to his guests, being either gentle and kind or, more notoriously, shouting at them to pull their lives together. The show, and the host's persona, first took shape on the radio. By the turn of the millennium, he had carved out a respectable radio career, hosting his Confessions show on London's Capital FM before taking it to Virgin Radio.
The programme was a precursor to what would later inspire his TV show, allowing listeners to call in with their relationship issues and dilemmas while he listened and offered advice. The move in front of the camera saw the introduction of DNA and lie detector tests for dramatic effect, with guests clashing over break-ups, child access, addiction and family feuds. When arguments got physical, a bouncer, known as "Security Guard Steve", would break up the fights. The format relied on an emotional reaction for entertainment value.
And this demanded "raw emotions from the guests on the show itself", says Metro. It was almost Shakespearean in that way. For guests, however, these theatrical roles were their real lives, with a happy ending never assured. A former producer on the show, who wishes to remain anonymous, revealed a competitive atmosphere fostered among researchers that encouraged them to "chase" guests and do "whatever they could" to confirm a booking, or risk losing their jobs.
