Jeremy Kyle will return to TV tonight after Piers Morgan's first episode of Uncensored.
It's been nearly three years since the host's flagship reality series The Jeremy Kyle Show came to an end, coming after a guest, Steve Dymond, took his own life after failing a lie detector test.
His comeback also follows Jeremy Kyle: Death On Daytime, a controversial documentary exploring the former series throughout its titanic 14-year run.

Kyle is just one of several personalities aboard the launch of TalkTV, a new offshoot of TalkRadio that'll be home to Morgan's anticipated chat show and other programmes.
He'll appear on The Talk tonight at 9pm alongside other presenters, which appears to be the channel's main current affairs panel show.
This will be hosted by Sharon Osbourne, set to 'bring together five opinionated famous faces – all from different backgrounds and with differing views – to debate the most interesting stories of the day'.
An earlier statement from the channel read: "TalkTV’s primetime schedule will also be simulcast on talkRadio. And talkRadio’s roster of daytime talent, including Julia Hartley-Brewer, Mike Graham, Ian Collins and Jeremy Kyle, will be broadcast on TalkTV."
News UK broadcasting president Scott Taunton also said: "We have a roster of new talent who will bring compelling new shows to the screen every weekday evening, alongside journalists from across News UK who have expertise in every genre.
"Our existing professional talent on TalkRadio already have their own followings and we will be bringing these popular and informed discussions about news and current affairs to a wider audience.
"Our launch schedule should get the nation talking and bring new choice to viewers in the market."
Ahead of the channel's launch, Kyle acknowledged the documentary on his TalkRadio show. "I will say only this, my friends, to you. I have maintained a consistent approach over the last three years," he said.
"I have said that I will not comment on the tragic death of Steve Dymond until the legal process is finished, and that is a position that I will maintain.
"When, and trust me there will be a time after the inquest, when it is proper for me to have my say, because there are two sides to every story. I will do it here, and I will do it to you, and that is the most important thing."
The Talk will air at 9pm tonight on TalkTV (Sky 526, Virgin Media 627, Freeview 237, and Freesat 217).
