Jeremy Kyle viewers switched off in their droves today after the notorious King family took part in a social experiment, which saw them thrashing their problems out in ‘Kyle House’.
The whole family, including mother Julie and her three daughters, Stacey, Leanne and Charlotte and their various partners and exes – who are all regular guests on The Jeremy Kyle Show – were filmed over three days trying to fix their problems

The women were joined by Julie’s son Connor, as well as her ex Billy, who all spoke to therapist Graham Stanier.
Once their time screaming at each other in Kyle House was over they all returned to the studio to continue thrashing out their numerous problems.
But viewers hit out at the show for “exploiting a dysfunctional family for ratings”, as well as branding it “fake”.

One fan tweeted: “Why? Oh why?, Does @itvjeremykyle keep pampering the most Disfunctional Attention Seeking Contrived family that exemplifies Broken Britain.” [sic]
Another wrote: “I didn’t think #jeremykyle could get any worse…but ‘Kyle House’ is a brand new low.”
A third added: “#jeremykyle Quiet simply the biggest heap of of trash EVER screened on TV. This is purely staged to the hilt. What on earth are ITV thinking of. RIP the Kyle show.”

Others expressed how they felt sorry for son Connor with one writing: “Wow how is Connor part of that family! He seems to actually be very decent, has respect and some morals. You don’t deserve to be treated that way.”
While another added: “I hope Connor has a wonderful life, he’s done the right thing distancing himself from Julie a woman who refuses to apologise sincerely or admit the reasons why all the children ended up in care. Difficult watching her direct anger towards her children.”
#jeremykyle can see why this family don’t want nothing to do with Connor, he’s the only one that’s not a scumbag! How is he related, poor lad

Some fans expressed how they found the episode distressing, with one viewer tweeting: “#JeremyKyle #KylesHouse is genuinely distressing viewing.”
However others predicted this would not be the last we saw of the Kings with one viewer writing: “They are already plotting their next argument to get on the show.”
They are already plotting the next arguement to get on the show. #jeremykyle
